I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.
I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.
Why a new software though? Why not fork lemmy? Might as well call it Kilmister too. I just don’t see why reinvent the wheel, especially since the issue is that of management and not technical.
The codebase is remarkably not fun to work with according to everyone I’ve talked to. The language (rust) is also not common for web services so many have no experience with it. These things made people want to start from scratch.
Anyone who has worked in SE knows how massive of a red flag this is. Nutomic aint wrong on principle. But aint he massively wrong at the same time.
Kotlin is a replacement for Java. But boy oh boy are they different languages allowing different things in the same VM.
The Lemmy codebase is incredibly idiosyncratic
Well done!
