Same here, despite the fact that Lemmy is built on Rust and React which I find far more technically interesting, I’ve decided to help out on Kbin, which is fullstack PHP.
Agreed. Like the above poster mentioned, the same issue has existed on Reddit, but it’s had much more time for “winners and losers” to emerge from the battle for members. I do have to say I still don’t know how to search for communities here (I’m on Kbin), and it would be very convenient to be able to type “technology” or whatever and see a list of all named communities across all instances currently being federated with, and then have the option to aggregate them into a single feed.
Congrats, you’re one of the first lunatics I’ve seen since joining the Fediverse!
What a coincidence!
