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.
Lol how about one written in NodeJS? 😆
Brainremoved would be my choice if we are making things harder for ourselves.
I bet there are forks already. NodeJS is quite popular really.
