[PROJECT] Seeking Lemmy Architects/Developers (lemmy.ml)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

11 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I am the CTO for an early-stage FinTech startup, and am looking to connect with architect-level developers who have managed their own self-hosted instance of Lemmy to help stand up a standalone, non-federated instance on a cloud provider such as AWS or Azure. This would be paid work, can be part-time to fit your schedule, and will have the option to become full-time upon our next round of funding.

Please reply or DM me if you have any interest and would like more details. Thanks!

I don’t think you’re looking for architects or developers if you just want to run an instance. Those would be for developing custom features for Lemmy. I believe you are looking for a Cloud Engineer.

You're right...however in a perfect world I'm looking for more of a high-end generalist that can do it all, as I definitely expect that development will be necessary. If there aren't any proverbial "purple squirrels" out there that can (or want) to do both though, then we'll need to separate the roles and hire multiple.

Actually he needs a developer to disable federation. It's on be l by default and to my knowledge there is no way to disable it.

There are two config options that control this:

private_instance
federation_enabled

Federation is disabled by default, and needs to be enabled either through the online admin panel or directly through the config.json file.
