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.

    Yeah, Rust is cool, but every CS grad and their mother knows Java.

    This is quite an outdated view I would say.

      Perhaps, but a lot of devs wanted to contribute to a Java client, and that’s what they were saying.
