The Threadiverse is growing again, this time offering an effort to build a new Lemmy replacement from scratch, with API compatibility.

Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps of choice.

    I’m not sure I believe “faster” progress really means anything when two communists are creating a hobby software that isn’t really for business or necessarily targeting growth at all costs.

      This is not hobby software, this is public good software. They are paid in large part by grants

        I am not a communist. I cannot believe I had to write that.

          Sorry, my question got removed. But it was a genuine question (curiosity.) I didn’t mean to disparage you.
