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.

Yeah but there's a big difference between having "picked up" a new language and being on the level where you can viably add useful code to a distributed federated deployed platform.

I have 12 years in Java by now, I'm fairly confident with it. Rust, yeah no, not for production code.
