    Hey. I’m the one who sent the DM, following up from this initiative: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/building-a-better-r-rust-together/95194

    I’m not an active member of the Hachyderm/Nivenly org, but I condone their approach. It’s common knowledge by now that Rust’s biggest challenge of late has not been technical, but rather social and organizational. It is a consistently underappreciated aspect of open source practice. The most important part of Hachyderm’s existing infrastructure is their social architecture.

    Like @admin@lemmyrs.org has said, this site will inevitably be a multi-person effort to maintain. Partnering up with an established org is a good way to help with that scaling challenge during the rather time-critical moment we’re in.

    Hachyderm was considering starting their own Lemmy instance, which is why I suggested they should partner up with existing projects like lemmyrs instead, so we can avoid further fragmentation during these early days.
