If it’s Python, that’s 58%. SQL is 59% and I would be pretty surprised if piefed is pure SQL
This reasoning is really bizarre, btw. Never once heard of someone choosing software because it appealed to older developers.
I’m an older developer. Rust seems so much more interesting to me than yet another python service. Oh boy is it Django??
I wonder if there are loads of devs helping out with lemmy, I sincerely have no idea, I just know the mains are paid for what I have understood.
Piefed is flask + python. Its very easy to read in my opinion. Very boring code. I knew nothing about it but threw a PR in there just for fun.
Django is my goto for personal projects too. And at work we use fastapi. They all kinda blend together now in 2025/26.
Personally I stopped caring about languages a decade into my career. As long as its boring and standard-ish, I'm happy. If it takes me a ton of time getting every dependency under the sun, the project is unstable/constantly breaking, and/or requires me a degree to even look at it, then im not going to contribute.
Lemmy is harder to read as a project than piefed. But both are good. Its not a "vs" we should just let both communities do their thing and be happy someone on their weekends wants to support our sorry asses.
Certified facts!
