Hey! I’m building a social media site and hit a snag. I’m still getting the hang of using AI for coding, I wanted to get some practice and I’ve used it to tackle one of Lemmy’s good first issues. Is this fine or am I wasting people's time?

Can't speak for the Lemmy devs but you should make sure that you understand every single line of change you propose. AI tends to get details wrong.

We don't allow vibe-coding for lemmy, see here.

Yeah, don't, please.

The mountain of slop isn't a good thing.
