Lemmy instance with MariaDB (discuss.tchncs.de)

Hey there, I thought about starting my own Lemmy instance, yet I'd really like to use my already running MariaDB server for the database. I haven't found anything in the docs (might be me though). Is that possible or will I have to set up Postgresql?

Possible, but I don't see it happening. Postgres provides functionality that MySQL/MariaDB don't, so if a lot of that functionality is used, the primary devs probably aren't going to want to take on the extra overhead of maintaining and testing it. In those cases, it would require additional rewriting on the Lemmy side to make it work seemlessly. A fork could likely do it, though.

@Jamie @poVoq best thing about PostgreSQL is PGAdmin4 since it supports OAuth2.
