For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that's been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?

Measuring "success" in a Federated system is somewhat complicated. I'm logged in through a site that's running kbin, and if this instance turned out to be the only kbin instance in existence it wouldn't really affect me; the Lemmy stuff is just as accessible to me regardless.
