Sublinks Aims to Be a Drop-In Replacement for Lemmy
wedistribute.org
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.

Java is a corporate language that most devs hate. Rust (Lemmy) is more popular as a hobby language that devs enjoy hacking in for fun.
Hm, Java is hated by devs, but still 2nd language on GitHub with 11,7% of the total code hosted, while Rust is number 13 with 1,8%?

How much of that 11.7% is 35-character class names?
I'm only half joking.
It’s by amount of pull requests, so the length of class names and other Java boilerplate doesn’t count.
Stockholm syndrome.
And even more, the Lemmy codebase doesn't really have any important developers besides the two main devs: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/graphs/contributors.
Even looking at the contributions to something like Mbin, which has been around for much shorter, you already see 6 people with more than 50 commits, while Lemmy has one
https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/graphs/contributors
We have 13 contributors with Sublinks so far. I expect more will come after the announcement.
Java devs like you need to step away from the PC and stop assaulting the world with a terrible language. You should be ashamed of yourselves for inflicting decades of misery on the world.
Java will go the way of COBOL. The future is Nim.
You’re delusional if you believe people care about Nim. It has been around for 16 years and is still nothing in comparison to Java. Java won’t go anywhere and is here to stay.
Or, bare with me..........it's just a it o banter my son.
Or, bare with me.... It's being a wanker
I don't like Java either, but there's no need to insult the developers for using a language they like.
Thank you

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
"I'm right, and if anyone disagrees, it's because they're brainwashed"
There's literally no possible way to argue against this type of logic.
The weight of my intellect is a heavy burden to bear.
Irrelevant
Typical Java dev attitude.
Thanks but I'm a network engineer, I'm just saying your argument is pointless, the majority of devs support a certain language. How they or you feel about it doesn't matter one bit.
Citation required, because strangely enough people whom I hear about complaining about Java never seem to be the good developers but the ones I wouldn't hire
That's bullshit, frankly
As a java dev, I can say that we hate working with java and love working with java at the same time.
Ah, an anime consumer. Explain to me why FMA:B is the greatest anime ever made?
fmab is another regular anime that's overshilled.
