Rust is a good low level language. I'm not sure if it fits this species task the best.
As others are saying here, the real work lies in the underlying database system rather than the actual back-end. Yes Rust is a good system language, but that didn't stop Lemmy from having a memory leak, and Python is also good(-ish), at least enough to make it happen. Possibly not as well at larger scales... but with subscribership falling rather than rising across the Threadiverse, that's not really a major concern at the moment.
Especially compared to features that will attract those new people, and thereby content, if such people did end up coming.
