Is Lemmy's code base "good"?

aCosmicWave@lemm.ee to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 191 points –

I know that Lemmy is open source and it can only get better from here on out, but I do wonder if any experts can weigh in whether the foundation is well written? Or are we building on top of 4 years worth of tech debt?

"It's webscale"

Everyone knows relational databases don't scale because they use joins.

Not sure if this is a serious blanket statement?

It's from an old (god, now I feel old) meme / joke video. Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-DItXtZs

There was a website / software called "xtra normal" that let you write an actual script and pick some avatars / actors and set up camera angles, etc. while it played out. Someone used it to mock the mongodb fucktards in the early 2000s.
