Lemmy itself is FOSS, right? Like I could just fork the code and make my own version, yeah? 🤔
Yea, but it’s in Rust, sooo that’s prob why no one has done it yet
I’ve also thought about forking it and re-writing it in something I actually know like C#, but I’ve only ever rewritten something from another language I didn’t know (C++) a few times and they were MUCH smaller projects than something like Lemmy so it’d be a massive undertaking for me alone LMAO
Good reason to learn a new language. I’ve never even done any kind of networked shit in programming, myself, so I doubt I could do anything super cool with it even if I learned Rust. Or at least, not without taking a long time playing around with it and figuring it out as I go 🤣
Rust is actually really nice, give it a go!
