I'm an IceShrimp fan, but even Misskey looks so much better than Mastodon
Thanks for sharing the article.
I searched for "misskey" but couldn't find anything. Akkoma and GoToSocial are mentioned though.
My main argument about Rust being a niche language is how few contributors there are to the Lemmy codebase.
Mbin (PHP) has more spread across its contributors:
- https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/graphs/contributors
- https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/graphs/contributors
But maybe Rust isn't that niche, but the Fediverse apps and projects are niche themselves.
I believe there is some work being done on an alternative code base written in python with flask it has lots of promise and i recon with a bit of extra work it might allow for mastodon integration into one server which would be cool af.
Otherwise, for Mastodon integration, there is mbin with https://kbin.run/ for instance
No worries! I was also a bit harsh, I edited my comment.
Where did I say that censorship does not happen?
I've been busy posting to !linux@programming.dev for the last week following your post.
You don't need to have an account on lemmy.ml to organize the migration (I did not post there). Organizing the migration means
- select an existing community that could act as an alternative
- promote that community to !newcommunities@lemmy.world and !communitypromo@lemmy.ca
- post to that community to make it appear in people feed
- over time, people will come (!linux@programming.dev has now 1.56K active users / week
This bas to be adressed by the mander admins.
For instances, i would suggest lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works
The issue is from LW to mander, there is a huge delay
Rust is a niche language
It's like starting a book club in Esperanto compared to English. Sure, Esperanto is supposedly a better language, but very few people know about it
Negative. It was usually quoted by ActivityPub skeptics who were looking for a centralized solutions, "easier to use".
I was never aware of the numbers, I'm surprised how much smaller it is.
