Hey. I'm the one who sent the DM, following up from this initiative: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/building-a-better-r-rust-together/95194

I'm not an active member of the Hachyderm/Nivenly org, but I condone their approach. It's common knowledge by now that Rust's biggest challenge of late has not been technical, but rather social and organizational. It is a consistently underappreciated aspect of open source practice. The most important part of Hachyderm's existing infrastructure is their social architecture.

Like @[email protected] has said, this site will inevitably be a multi-person effort to maintain. Partnering up with an established org is a good way to help with that scaling challenge during the rather time-critical moment we're in.

Hachyderm was considering starting their own Lemmy instance, which is why I suggested they should partner up with existing projects like lemmyrs instead, so we can avoid further fragmentation during these early days.

Do you know what Hachyderm's opinion of Lemmy is, or is it too early?

I had a lot of questions, many of which have been answered already.

Have they proposed this or suggested it, or is this an idea on your part? Are they in the habit of doing things like this? From what I read, they kinda ended up where they were by accident as things with twitter unfolded.

Nice, would you be so kind and share the answers to these questions with us? Cheers!

My answered questions are just those that others had asked already. I'm still a bit confused about the whole thing to be honest.
