    Same here, despite the fact that Lemmy is built on Rust and React which I find far more technically interesting, I’ve decided to help out on Kbin, which is fullstack PHP.

      I’ve at least heard people defending PHP recently. Supposedly it’s, uh, better than before.

      That said if there was a community fork of Lemmy that people started organizing around I wouldn’t mind seeing if there was something I could help with.

      I wish I could have Kbin but in Rust + React (would be far more useful for me to learn than modern PHP). Guess we can’t have it all

      Yeah, I’m probably going to bite the bullet and start working on Kbin too. I’ve avoided PHP for my entire career just by chance, so all I know are the memes and what I’ve read of (usually older) codebases. From what everyone says, modern PHP isn’t really that bad, and from what I can tell when perusing the Kbin source, the implementation is pretty clean.
