How mature would you say the project is (obviously a very subjective question)?

It works, but it's a little awkward to customise at the moment... an example at https://lemmy.ml https://lemmy.ml and https://www.chapo.chat https://www.chapo.chat (although chapo are supposedly moving away from Lemmy)

  Holy ballsack, chapo is a leftist cesspool like parler is a rightist cesspool. It's just one big death to america ISIS wonderland. Lemmy looks interesting all the same... but maybe a different example site that's not politically extremist would be better to convince folks to try it lol.

    I won't pass any judgement on either community, but to clarify, I was linking them as "popular" Lemmy instances as a demonstration of the technology

    What kind of political viewpoint thinks /ISIS/ is on the /left/? Aggressive fundamental Islamic theocratic dictatorship without human rights, without equality, without trial before jury ... what does that have in common with the left and representative democracy, equality, helping the poor and sick, regulating corporations and environmental pollution, pro-peace, anti-warfare, and etc?

      None, it's just a poor insult. A lot of the far left does hate America, though. Associating people that dislike America with ISIS is a really poor attempt at guilt by appropriation to avoid hard questions.

        Dude, 3 out of 5 posts on there straight up have "death to america" comments. Almost all have the flag on fire emojis. The only folks in recent memory that were cool with saying those things were ISIS and the Taliban. It wasn't a joke, it was a fair comparison.

        > it was a fair comparison. Again, what do ISIS, the Taliban, "death to america" and burning flags have to do with the left? When did you last see Bernie Sanders burning the American flag? When did you last see Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez calling "death to America! Death to the Infidels!"?

  Wow, the quality of discussion on that second link is really incredible. Surprising!

  Chapo is moving away from lemmy for now because lemmy is written in Rust, and Rust just didn't work out - there were issues with interfacing with DBs and with general maintenance as not enough people were good in rust. The biggest reasons why lemmy proved inadqueate as a turnkey solution was insufficient moderation possibilities. So, instead of lemmy, Chapo runs on their own fork, Hexbear. The front end part is still mostly compatible though, so coming back to lemmy core isn't out of the question. But if you want a quick solution to run a reddit style website, Chapo's Hexbear is probably the best.
