I know typescript but not rust. Ive been hearing a lot of chatter about Matrix - do I install and join a server to get plugged into the dev community for lemmy? Or where should I be hanging out to get an idea of what needs to be done? Github?
If you’re joining Matrix, you don’t need to run a server yourself. You can if you want to, of course, but most people register with a large homeserver like matrix.org
Github, yes … there’s a “code” link at the bottom of the page … that’ll take you to their github.
Otherwise, they are on matrix … i’ve been there once and they were responsive. Probably a good place to go if you want to start contributing. I don’t know where a link to it is … maybe on the Github or the docs section for contributing?
See this post of mine which was prompted by a mastodon dev reviewing moderation tools on lemmy and kbin:
https://lemmy.ml/post/1286830
I had a conversation with the reviewer, and my impression was that headway could be made without too much difficulty.
If anyone’s keen, and willing to work in rust or Typescript, there’s probably work you could be doing right now to make better moderation tools.

Good on you, though, for wanting to contribute!!
