For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that’s been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?

There’s already a PHP backend, kbin, though judging which is a better language for this sort of thing is outside of my wheelhouse.

The best way to tell if php is the best language for something is simple. It isn’t :-p

But at least it’s not perl running out of cgibin.

Are they still calling communities “magazines”?

I think so, that’s not that big of a deal, is it?

Oh, interesting, I hadn’t heard of this. I hope this fork is amicable? Ernest has struck me as being a reasonable dev from what I’ve seen of his public interactions, I’d hate to hear that there’s drama afoot.

Delivery is faster, they just released a new version this week. PR review is faster, which helps a lot.

Fedia.io is running it
