The creators of Lemmy are tankies and have some pretty despicable views, maybe we shouldn’t advertise giving them money.

I like the software, it feels cozy outside some communities from lemmy.ml, and I hope someone forks it eventually, but for now removing the link should be easy to do.

    I’m not very familiar with docker and whether it’s possible to just patch files in the image, if yes the you could probably make a script to apply it in case of an update (client.js is the file that needs to be changed), if not it should be possible to make a theme with some CSS that removes it.

    With the license, I think stating the exact change in the sidebar would be enough, but obviosuly not a lawyer and AGPL is funky.

      Think of Docker as just an .exe, the compiled version of the code in a neat bundle. We’d just need to set up a pipeline to run that, but since it’s AGPL, we should be fine.
