I’m not the one saying they’re gonna switch to it very soon

Oh sorry they’d rather not contribute to lemmy and not use rust

Java isn’t my preferred language. I did learn Rust to try to contribute but found the code base in less than ideal state and the process of contributing to risky. They don’t always accept all PRs. I also have low faith in the success of Lemmy due to it’s poor QA process and it’s major lack of features.

I believe Java is the best option for this type of application, I almost did it in PHP. My goal was to attract as many people as possible to want to contribute. It’s worked, I have a ton of people contributing in some way, Sublinks roadmap is clear and organized, and we have a super-motivated and driven team.

Confused which of those you think applies to the lemmy devs?

why do something original when we can just copy because we say we don’t like the devs?

It was their announcement reasoning. And notice none of it is rust

Is it anywhere near ready yet?

Probably because the project is just taking rust and making it Java…

Because they hate/don’t want to learn rust and think Java is a superior language

What I heard was a bot to send in ip from certain instances

Trying to think of any place that didn’t/doesn’t default to them

Or changes to rent status after taking a break and coming back the next day

They also didn’t allow the api to access all content, plus other limits so apps would have a neutered experience
