We're the creators of Lemmy, Ask Us Anything. *Starts Monday, 7 Aug, 1500 CEST*
This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they'd like to @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today.
Note: This will be the thread tmrw, so you can use this thread to ask and vote on questions beforehand.

Who are you guys if you don't mind me asking. What's your background?
We're just two software devs, and prefer to stay anonymous / undoxxed.
Would you consider reaching out to Victoria and see if she would be willing to start a new AMA community? This seems to be a chance to recreate all the best of the old/lost internet
Someone could do that for us, we're pretty busy.
That would be epic
That would be great, but remember that Victoria was a paid employee at Reddit. Lemmy isn't a company and it's not trying to be, so there's no pay incentive.
She was? I thought she started as a volunteer
Is her social media public?
I've no idea
Im from Germany and studied computer science. Was always very interested in open source and decentralized software. Worked in a couple different companies, but was never happy making profit for someone else. Luckily I found Lemmy shortly after Dessalines started the project, and put a lot of work into it. Then we found the NLnet funding which allowed us to work fulltime on the project.
