Has there been any hate? (honestly asking) I didn’t catch any of it.
I was just confused as to why one would choose Java for a web app, but other than that I welcome any new platform. Thats exactly what makes the fediverse great
There was a fair amount specifically upset that the creators had not decided to focus their efforts on contributing to lemmy directly. I personally think that’s silly as it’s not hard to find folks who’ve tried and had a terrible experience.
All I could imagine is that Lemmy devs and others thought they were wasting their time and should contribute to Lemmy. And people didn’t like Java as a choice.
Meanwhile sublinks will enjoy a much much larger potential developer pool; how many people are actually proficient in Rust? It’s an awesome language and it’s getting more popular, but it’s nowhere near the experience base of java.

People were reaching out to me to try to understand these details so I just made a blog post to just point people to.
Great project! I wish y’all the best
Thanks a lot!

hope they are proved wrong.
Thanks, me too!
Lots of angry comments in the post announcing Sublinks in this community, mostly criticizing Java choice
Language snobs will be snobby.
