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 backend? What year is it?

2024, Java is still the 2nd language on GitHub with 11,7% of the total code hosted, while Rust is number 13 with 1,8%

That's not the whole story, most of the Java code that exists is proprietary, java is undoubtedly #1

Oh definitely, but I took GitHub as it should reflect "hobby projects"
