Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy's Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps of choice.

No kidding. I'm an Ops guy and I've hosted hundreds of web applications professionally and for fun over the years but Lemmy has been one of the more frustrating and brittle experiences I've had.

I've figured out a few of the quirks by now but I definitely spent a whole afternoon troubleshooting why the front end wouldn't load at all only to discover the real issue was with Pict-rs.
