One year ago, on June 24, 2023, I saw the migration to Lemmy. I wanted to make something like libreddit, so I decided to mess with Lemmy's API. Lemmy became something I wanted to use daily, so I got to work, and I made the first commit:
I started with something that reused components from another project of mine, Imagi. It looked awful and had no features. But, some people actually started using it, and I was motivated to continue this.
After about a month 0.0.1 was released, with very basic features.
The text seems to be describing the early development of a project, where the initial version was quite basic and lacking in features, but the fact that some people were already using it motivated the developer to keep improving and expanding the project over time @io games
