For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that’s been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?

    Yeah they’re vastly smaller than Lemmy, which is probably why they felt the need to go open source. But without federation, open source doesn’t do much to change things.

    I do like the site and the userbase, so if they were open to federation I think it’d be a nice little boost for us.
