    I wanted to support them before but now I’m hoping someone forks their codebase.

      Piefed is a beauty. Made to be easily to contribute to, great morals and focus on tools for safety, ability to subscribe to posts for notifications sorts like the forum days, compatible with lemmy and discourse forum federation iirc and the main developer seems really chill and like he cares about making a good and healthy platform

      The codebase is extremely shitty, instead people opted for complete rewrite.

          There are several bad architectural decisions and when your architecture is wrong, the quality of the code itself doesn’t really matter (to be more specific, I was talking about architecture in my previous comment, not the code itself, I don’t know Rust so I can’t really comment on that).

          To fix the architecture, major parts would have to be rewritten, almost making it a different codebase, because pretty much no part would be left unturned.
