@[email protected] I've heard about that, and agree that programming.dev is more appropriate.

Although I would like to share this snippet from the the official mantainer position (https://lemmy.ml/post/70280)::)

Lemmy.ml has always been a niche site, and it will most likely stay this way.

If you dont like the way lemmy.ml works, thats okay. Federation exists exactly to solve that problem, let different groups have their own instances, with their own rules and political views.

So, while lemmy.ml is meant to be niche and opinionated, at least the software seem to be quite "agnostic".

Sharing this mostly to avoid people moving to kbin due to FUD (although IMO kbin does look nicer)

I think people fear a problematic "BDFL". On the other hand, the beauty of FOSS is that it can be forked in case you don't agree with the current owners.

I heard that Lemmy is the second most popular software on the Fediverse, and choosing between Lemmy and kbin doesn't have much impact due to the interop (although I hope to see tools for easy migration, if needed). What matters is how well the instance is maintained, and the community.
