# Contributing
Information about contributing to Lemmy, whether it is translating, testing, designing or programming.
## Issue tracking / Repositories
- [GitHub (for issues)](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy)
- [Gitea](https://yerbamate.dev/LemmyNet/lemmy)
- [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/dessalines/lemmy)
## Translating
Check out [Lemmy's Weblate](https://weblate.yerbamate.dev/projects/lemmy/) for translations.
## Architecture
### Front end
- The front end is written in `typescript`, using a react-like framework called [inferno](https://infernojs.org/). All UI elements are reusable `.tsx` components.
- The main page and routing are in `ui/src/index.tsx`.
- The components are located in `ui/src/components`.
### Back end
- The back end is written in `rust`, using `diesel`, and `actix`.
- The server source code is split into main sections in `server/src`. These include:
- `db` - The low level database actions.
- Database additions are done using diesel migrations. Run `diesel migration generate xxxxx` to add new things.
- `api` - The high level user interactions (things like `CreateComment`)
- `routes` - The server endpoints .
- `apub` - The activitypub conversions.
- `websocket` - Creates the websocket server.
## Linting / Formatting
- Every front and back end commit is automatically formatted then linted using `husky`, and `lint-staged`.
- Rust with `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy`.
- Typescript with `prettier` and `eslint`.
