For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that’s been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?

      Seriously asking, not being snarky, but that looks good? It’s just a clone of new.reddit and every other SNS layout of the past 20 years.

        Honestly, I think it looks substantially cleaner than the new reddit. Also, a lot more performant, which goes a long way towards the overall vibe of the UI.

        Yeah, the only reason I’m still dabbling in Reddit is because they still have old.Reddit. As soon as Reddit goes to new.Reddit-only, I’m gone for good. I hate that UI.

        Lots of people seem to like it, though, so I guess more power to them if they want to use it. One of the great advantages of the Fediverse is not having gatekeeping on the interface.
