Nutomic:

This is implemented in the main branch now. If you want to develop a plugin for Lemmy, have a look at the RFC and the examples. If you have questions about plugin development, feel free to post in the Matrix dev chat, !lemmy@lemmy.ml or open an issue.

github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3562#issuecommen…

Examples in multiple languages: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-plugins#lemmy-plugins (only a few examples currently, more languages are possible including Python)

Anyone planning to start working on a plugin?

Never heard of that. Care to explain?

From the RFC that is linked above:

“Plugins will make Lemmy more flexible, and allow implementing features which are too niche for merging into Lemmy core. It will allow Lemmy to focus on core features, while allowing outside developers to contribute new features without using Rust.”

Thinking back to the WordPress days this week be very dangerous for instance security. I’m not saying this is wrong, but boy does this place a lot of responsibility on the admins.

I fucking love this. I’ve been wanting to get into some slightly more professional looking development and being able to make some Lemmy plugins would be huge for me

I could make one for my own instance, sounds interesting
