there would likely be more able and willing development contributions
As I said in the linked comment above, I’m not convinced that this is actually true and we’ve yet to see evidence that it is true.
the problem absolutely is that Lemmy is written in Rust … Then again with an attitude like this regardless of chosen programming language …
I mean, didn’t you just say it there? The problem isn’t with Rust, the problem is with people, the resources available, the devs willingness to implement what you ask for and such. The problem sounds to me more social than technical. I really don’t think the programming language is what is standing in the way here 😅

The Piefed developer responded in this thread here that two devs have begun making substantial contributions to Piefed, so that there is now 3 developers total on the project. I personally suspect the fact that Piefed was created in Python was not an insubstantial contributing factor in aquiring that help.

Ok; the developers attitudes certainly are.
Yeah. Pay attention to when I said it the first time so I don’t have to repeat myself.
Sure thing m8, no need to get upset (your tone sounded a bit angry/annoyed) - happy cake day btw, never saw that before! :)

I mean, maybe? It’s a very small sample size. But all the best of luck to them.
