The Rust Foundation very deliberately does not control the development of Rust. There has been issues with the moderation team in the past but I think they’re actually resolved today. And let me just assure you that Rust is not the only language project with problems and the fact that they have been talked about and discussed in the open and resolved is a sign of maturity and trust, not a bad thing.
Sounds like a useful cool feature, would love to see it in Lemmy too.
I am not the one who said “epic fail”.
Well, it was more to recognize that there is no inherently better programming languages in theory, they all do the same stuff. And some languages are “better” at some stuff just due to the libraries available and nothing to do with the language itself. But yea I do think Rust is an objectively better language than C++.
Of course, but it still makes sense to think carefully about the advantages of disadvantages of the tools you use when starting any project.
C++ is a very old, extremely complex language. There are arguably objectively better modern alternatives, such as Rust.
The most active is probably the news community, !nyheder@feddit.dk with 80 active users per week according to the sidebar. I think a good portion of them are users on external instances.
If you understand Danish, any of the communities on Feddit.dk should be interesting… But otherwise they probably aren’t :P
Just hijacking the top comment to say that it has been suggested, just not implemented yet https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818
Does it though? You can still put up a fork somewhere else as long as you uphold the license right? Unless I guess in the case where the license explicitly disallows forks, but I don’t think that’s very common (can you even do that?).
Because CPU registers are all powers of 2, i.e. exponential in this fashion. And it’s also just the same reason - 64 is high enough, why go to 96 or 80 or something?
I’ll probably update within a week as well :)
Even reddit is still niche when it comes to social media and has always been. It’s become a little more mainstream the last few years, but for most people social media still equals Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and such.
Very nice even :D
But maybe Rust isn’t that niche, but the Fediverse apps and projects are niche themselves.
Lemmy is niche even within the fediverse, where microblogging still dominates and the threadiverse style apps are smaller. It’s just not a very large space.
Thanks for all the work!
I haven’t had big problems honestly. Still have less than 100GB of storage, which is like 0 dollars on object storage.
I found it very easy to start with the ansible setup and later changed to self managed docker. I even moved servers once and it worked fine.
Overall I haven’t had any issues, but I’m also a software engineer so maybe I know more than others. There are some missing features for sure, but I don’t think it’s so bad so far at least.
I’d say yes but it also really depends where you go. I used to host Feddit.dk at DigitalOcean, it was expensive af for like no hardware at all. Now I use Hetzner instead and it feels reasonable, especially their server auction.
It attracts a different audience, so in aggregate it seems like your community is suddenly bigger because 1+1=2 right? What you don’t realize is that you’ve divided your community into two separate groups with possibly different wants, needs and cultures.
The language existed long before the foundation. The foundation is purely there to support the language.
