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.

Hiya! I wrote a follow-up to the ‘Better /r/rust’ initiative here: https://blog.erlend.sh/transitioning-r-rust-to-the-threadiverse

In light of the Pawb community’s forking explorations, I’d love to hear from anyone who wants to talk about ways to engage with Lemmy in ways that benefit the entire ecosystem.

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.
