Yeah, I’m probably going to bite the bullet and start working on Kbin too. I’ve avoided PHP for my entire career just by chance, so all I know are the memes and what I’ve read of (usually older) codebases. From what everyone says, modern PHP isn’t really that bad, and from what I can tell when perusing the Kbin source, the implementation is pretty clean.
This exactly. I’m a software engineer and I’m itching to contribute to one of these systems, but I do not agree with some of the stuff I’ve seen posted by one of the developers of Lemmy. It just leaves a sour taste in my mouth about the whole thing.
Wow this is neat!
How can I tell that a post is from another instance when browsing on Kbin? Just scanning the card for this thread, it isn’t apparent that it’s federated content.
If you prefer markdown and don’t need a massive set of features, I highly recommend notable.
