How is ibis development going so far?

It's been a while since I've heard any news. Not that there's anything wrong with that cause you guys are working on Lemmy aswell.

I'm also pretty excited about Ibis, but I think the main dev said they wouldn't be able to devote any more time to it right? If I had the skills I'd take on the project myself, it's really neat!

Is there maybe a development group chat on Ibis? I would like to try to contribute

There's a Matrix chat for it, but it's just as quiet as here unfortunately: #ibis:matrix.org

Oooh maybe that community that's learning Rust and ActivityPub at the same time should take it on as a project? !learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml

That's actually a pretty nice idea! I'm part of this group, so I'll try suggesting it.

Just saw this post now. Its exactly this, I already worked on Ibis for around three months to finish the proof of concept, but it will take roughly a year of fulltime work to get it ready for production, and I cant afford to spend so much time working on this for free. I did apply for funding from NLnet, so if we're lucky and it gets approved I will be able to work on it more. Otherwise Ibis will remain in the current state, or I have to look for funding elsewhere (suggestions welcome).

Donations, perhaps? I'm not sure if they should be mixed with or kept separate from the funds for Lemmy.

There are donation options in the announcement post. However I think people are very unlikely to donate to a project in proof of concept stage which doesn't have any real users yet.

Do you remember when/where they said that?
