thanks - yes, I suspected it was. Lemmy is what it is - and agree the question is difficult to answer concisely. Understanding that interpretation of "good" vs "bad" codebases is subjective, there are plenty of production systems that are unambiguously "not good". The great thing about lemmy isn't the UI, it's the threading and reddit-like communities built on the ActivityPub foundation. It's the right foundation.

No the answer is that it is written in a modern language, is in its infancy and needs a lot of work to be really great, but it's based on a certified protocol ActivityPub, that Mastodon and other "fediverse" systems use. It's going to be really great, eventually.
Go for it. the specs on the laptop are good enough to run plenty of stuff as a server. As long as the drive can be mounted you should be good. Your backups should be somewhere else.
Very nice! Thanks. Now all we need is hookers and blackjack!
thanks - a slightly different take but looks good.
C'est la guerre...
Unrest spreads to French overseas territories
Riots have erupted in French Caribbean territories to protest the police shooting death of a teenager in a Paris suburb, with at least one person killed as people set fire to dumpsters and damaged buildings.
The worst violence so far was in French Guiana, where authorities said that police officers came under fire and that a stray bullet killed a 54-year-old government worker late Thursday in the capital, Cayenne.
Columns of thick black smoke rose above some neighboorhoods in Cayenne, turning streets hazy as police tried to quell protesters in the small territory on the shoulder of South America. Authorities urged calm as the territory braced for another possible night of rioting.
They have huge corporate subscribers who are willingly funding open source support and development, but since their purpose now is a profit center, they have to kill the goose that laid their golden egg.
Maximizing revenue growth must be paramount - at the cost of everything else, including the foundation that the company was built on.
Hopefully Red Hat will follow Reddit into the dustbin of irrelevancy.
Everyone on Lemmy is me, except this bot.
