@xc2215x the irony that some the improvements made to modernize the version of PHP it runs on were contributed by Facebook and the fact that it's Twig template files can be modified by anyone familiar with HTML and CSS. You don't need to know PHP to contribute improvements.
So is Kbin. Both projects use the AGPL license, but Kbin is a PHP/Symfony based solution while Lemmy is primarily a Rust backend with a Typescript front end. If someone is going to run an instance or contribute to the code, they are likely going to choose the stack that they are most familiar with.
With a lot of #Drupal experience, the Kbin code is very approachable for me... but as other commenters have already said... whatever floats your boat.
The Kbin and Lemmy projects aren't competing as much with each other as the ActivityPub driven communities are competing with the walled gardens.
@Gargleblaster I saw mention Earnest mention https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin in https://mstdn.social/@ernest@kbin.social/110520630922617908, so that seems legit.
Same. What's the point in having a last name no one can pronounce or spell if not to use in my username everywhere?
