Interesting read from r/rust, where they discuss Lemmy as a possible alternative, including the option of soft-forking it. It seems like Lemmy's explosion in popularity is well timed.

Heh, I can't actually see what it says cause of the blackout, though I saw they were considering abandoning Reddit entirely (albeit with Discord mentioned as the main go-to, which doesn't seem like the best choice...).

Given Lemmy is written in Rust, it really would be fitting if they spun up their own instance to create a new community. Heck, it would actually be beneficial to them, as having a central Rust instance would allow for multiple sub-communities for different topics, such as help requests, project showoffs, memes, etc. That would be amazing to see, if it actually happens.
