I am absolutely sure all these (big) rewrites are sponsored by corporations to escape the GNU safeguards

Interesting idea, never thought of that and I don’t think it is impossible.

But I don’t see it, there are 400+ contributors and uutils group are students and someone working from home.

As I see it, we are finally getting new tools and all because we got new fancy fast and memory safe language. Community is growing, learning and making new apps.

One problem I have seen (thou I don’t know about this project) is low code quality, but that’s expected until we find best practices with rust.

But I never thought about licenses.

One thing I can imagine is even something like unconscious “self censorship”, choosing more permissive license to attract more people and even corporations which will hire developers…

But I also understand that people want more permissive license than gnu.

Thank you for idea, I will keep an eye on it.

Caching is being worked on in shape of cache control headers, not in a way you mention sql cache, but will get better.

If it shows it itms not enough I can imagine devs will change their opinion on it, like they did with websockets.


I like your posts and hunt for performance issues, I just think that developers decided (wether you and I agree or not) some other features are more important.

Until few weeks ago communication was clear since there were not many people here, so there was no need for some specific notes you are mentioning.

Now we do need them and reminding developers of it, or even better doing it would be much appreciated I expect.

I have seen developers on some threads here or on github issues commenting on repication problems and they are hard at work for those.

Even caching is discussed, as I understand, they first need to implement cache control headers so that admins can set up caching, as they see fit, outside lemmy.

There is a lo of good will around, please have understanding and be part of it. Give the time to grow up to this opportunity.


I agree with you, but I think you sound a bit too harsh for developers.

I think they are doing their best currently and have probably identified more immediate issues before addressing all that we see.

There are other big instances which could share the logs, let’s ask lemmy.world and beehaw if they can share the logs and leave main developers to work.

Another bug thing I am thinking can benefit from information sharing is bot account detection.

I would like to take a look at that data and find ways to identify bots. I just don’t know what data can be useful, but will try to make my own instance and work on it.



True, I also think lemmy is the main star of fediverse (peertube too) because they don’t need network effect qnd milions of users.

Problem with reddit is it got too big l, similar like youtube, it always recommending me videos with milions of views and I don’t like them - they are professionally done and trying to sell me something.

I just want to watch random people sharing their thoughts and hobbies.

Right now we don’t have that part of the internet, but looks like it is comming back.


Stack Overflow. It is such an obvious one that we are missing, different communities need q&a forum type of thing adding federation to it would be pretty nice.
