Yeah, very difficult situation, I truly hope they'll find the help they need.
Well, I'm lending a hand. I have some patches in production already, and I've only been contributing for a week or so.
If you have the means, please help out. There are tons of bugs, important features, etc, and it's a pretty stable base, so it's a good time to jump in.
@sugar_in_your_tea About "good time to jump in": the small size of the lemmy dev community gives you a chance to shift off Microsoft to a community git forge e.g. #Codeberg [1] that aims at forge federation [2] *before* there's too much #TyrannyOfConvenience inertia. Mastodon devs are reluctant to even *discuss* giving up Microsoft [3].

Uh reading your third link, no they are not reluctant to discuss it. That whole discussion sadly was about how the original "proposal" was framed, and I have to agree with that person that it wasn't "proposed" but more stated as a demand.
