The Threadiverse is growing again, this time offering an effort to build a new Lemmy replacement from scratch, with API compatibility.

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, I run Photon on base domain because I couldn’t count on lemmy-ui.

      The Photon developer is assisting with the development of the new front-end :)

        That’s good news. Hopefully they’ll get let you change your avatar in that new UI because that’s one of the weirdly missing Photon features.

          We have our own engineers working on it with him along with the developer of pangora. It’s a full collaborative effort to make the best we can.
