Yeah KBIN is getting the fundamentals right and at a pretty fast pace. I just don't like their nomenclature and techstack. It's also trying to be twitter and reddit at the same time.

Lemmy actually uses it own API, so you would think they would have documentation as a priority. Lemmy gets funded by NLnet (so is KBIN) and they get paid by each released feature. I think they focused too much on adding features, and this feature creep caused big performance issues. Aggregation is still big performance hog that causes instability which probably the biggest problem rn with Lemmy. They also wasted lots of resources into things that don't scale like the AsyncApi. Before they got hit by the reddit migration, they were even thinking of doing 1.0.0 release, that woulda complicated a lot of things. It's good that the migration happened, it shook Lemmy devs, probably would have been better if it happened earlier though.
