whether it would make much more sense to stick with the same DB unless there’s a good reason for divergence.
SL Dev said they reengineered the database schema and didn't want to use the Lemmy one. Based on the summer performance issues, I guess it makes sense.
However unlikely that is … trying not to fragment the fediverse too much would be awesome and its pleasant to see some dedication here to that end.
At the end of the day, it's still Activitypub. The compatibility between Lemmy and Kbin works pretty well, most of the issues we had were federation related, and those existed within Lemmy itself.
Full disclaimer: I code and work in Rust daily on the backend and frontend.
Would you and your colleagues be interested in contributing to Lemmy's codebase? I'm genuinely asking, I'm still surprised by the low number of contributors for a project that has 40k active monthly users
That leaves me with just Reddit, so I’m stuck going back regularly.
Have tried posting about an alternative forum on Reddit, that allows third party apps? I've done that after messaging the mods in some communities, some of them were quite receptive

I stand corrected!
