What is an example of a good reason to start a new project?
That’s an over simplified version. For the record, I couldn’t downgrade without data loss.
You’re watching the spawn now! It’s still in development :)
Thanks a lot!
People were reaching out to me to try to understand these details so I just made a blog post to just point people to.
Thanks, me too!
Yes, almost all team members are contributing code, designs, feature requests, etc. I called out @Rooki@lemmy.world specifically because he’s been a major contributor. One of the admins is actively recruiting people to help contribute to Sublinks, this is how we got so much support so quickly. It’s a very close collaboration. I owe a lot of thanks to the Lemmy.World team.
I am not a communist. I cannot believe I had to write that.
Sorry, broke the build with a recent merge. It’s back up now!
We have 13 contributors with Sublinks so far. I expect more will come after the announcement.
We have our own engineers working on it with him along with the developer of pangora. It’s a full collaborative effort to make the best we can.
The Photon developer is assisting with the development of the new front-end :)
A new front-end is coming too. We need a new front-end to support all the new features we’re adding.
I’ll get it on there on the sidebar. Thanks a lot for the feedback. The demo site has been up for so long that I didn’t think of it when I announced it.
Yes, there is going to be a tool that exports from Lemmy via a direct database connection and adds to Sublinks via the API. Sublinks is heavily event driven by design. We’ll want some events to trigger during import.
It’s basically a fork of Lemmy. But rather than forking, we’re rewriting the entire tech stack to something easier to support and enhance. You can see the full roadmap here: https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1
Multiple domains aren’t possible yet, but that doesn’t mean we cannot add it later.
I’m unhappy with the Lemmy roadmap, development speed, and quality. I wanted to contribute but found it difficult to. I did the next best thing and created a somewhat drop-in replacement with a much larger community of developers who are willing to support it.
You can see the complete Sublinks roadmap here: https://github.com/orgs/sublinks/projects/1. The first release of parity (v0.10) will use the existing Lemmy front-end. All releases after that will no longer support the Lemmy UI because that’s when the enhanced features start to roll in. We don’t want to support or fork the current Lemmy UI.
Exactly, we already had 13 contributors working on it before it was announced.
Thanks so much! We’re trying hard!
