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.

IMO slow development isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Sure but even just recently there was the example of breaking federation over Christmas. Some of those issues persist through 0.19.3 which came out today

Similarly scaled sort would have made a huge difference for small communities in the period directly after the migration.

Yeah, that was definitely annoying. I would’ve preferred to have some kind of official workaround but I figured something out that got me through until the updates.

I probably lean too hard into forgiveness on this stuff but I know a number of open source devs who have burned out for various reasons this past year and would much rather see slow development than risking a rush towards burnout.
