Based on what I’ve seen on the public facing part of the developer side, I get the feeling this isn’t the kind of group that can build the kind of organization required to make this sustainable in the long run.
I’m just waiting for when Beehaw releases that they’ve given up on Lemmy and have created a new tech stack.
I mention a new tech stack because Beehaw brought it up as an option and a lot of people have commented on the difficulty of development in this environment.
In terms of new tech stack currently theres sublinks being made by devs/admins of a bunch of instances (discuss.online, lemmy.world, programming.dev, etc.)

It’s open source. We don’t have to depend on the original developers.
If it gets too bad, someone can just make a fork.
Afaik people are just impatient with the developers and have different short term goals.

That’d be disappointing. Rust seems like a great foundation.
The fact that I know you’re referring to the programming language called “Rust” doesn’t make this sentence any less funny.
It could still be rust. Code is always the easy part. Design and organization and funding are hard

There’s also Kbin, I suppose.
Do they have an API yet?
Not in production.
There’s not a lot of dev time to go around at kbin.
It’s a somewhat similar story there, although the devs aren’t as difficult. Mbin is a fork and seems to be the codebase with the brightest future.
We already have Sublinks
