The devs and designers are not playing around, this is looking amazing.

I notice the sidebar says "Active Plugins", which is dope, I think plugin's will open up a lot of possibilities for Lemmy. I'll have to look around, but it got me thinking: I wonder if it's a worth it now, or if it would be a pain in the ass, to spin up my own test instance (not hard) to start building and playing around with the plugin system.

@nutomic@lemmy.ml are the instructions under the plugins section of join-lemmy.org still valid if I wanted to do some plugin development tinkering?

Follow these steps:

  • Use the nightly Docker image for Lemmy and lemmy-ui
  • Setup postgres, pictrs and nginx according to the usual 0.19 instructions
  • Specify plugins in Lemmy config (docs, example)
  • You need to specify the hash for each wasm file (check logfile for error message), or set DANGER_PLUGIN_SKIP_HASH_CHECK (not merged yet, part of the PR above)

Let me know if this works, then I will add it to the documentation. Or better yet, make a PR yourself ;)
