What it comes down to me in May was that after 4 years of coding - if they knew they had scale problems (the queue system of federation and the PostgreSQL were both buggy and performing badly)…
The natural answer was to split the code out. Push more to lemmy-ui, such as adding caching to the API calls for “trending communities” and getSite call to NodeJS caching… something.
If they wanted to maintain their Rust approach to development, create a temporary app to get out of the problems and have a fresh approach. Nginx would allow even specific API paths to be redirected to another application. The read-only post and comment listings, community listings, could have been forked out.
The API is why people left Reddit. and Lemmy had an API and kbin did not have an API.
