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.

    Just peeking at the source code and it all looks like pretty standard stuff. Looks just like apps I’ve worked on at several jobs.

    Is it sexy? No. But a lot of people have experience with this and could help develop.

    Only time will tell if this project pays off though
