Pong. @mox@lemmy.sdf.org , in sublinks, the federation services are entirely separate from the API of the instance. So much separate, the federation services are written in a programming language called Golang. The API service is written in a programming language called Java.
One aspect does not require or preclude the other with Sublinks.
That’s like saying what is the point of misskey (and its forks) when it can be seen by people on mastodon. Isn’t that the whole point of the fediverse?
Yes I don’t understand the point of misskey either. It just seems to be a Japanese clone of mastodon with a small, differing interpretation of some parts of ActivityPub.
Sublinks exists because the developers of Lemmy have repeatedly ignored feature requests from instance admins and acted in a hostile manner towards them. They’re unpleasant to work with, so a bunch of people decided to no longer work with them and create their own project.
It feels like you’re only capable of seeing the “logical” point for something to exist friend. Misskey is to Tumblr as Mastodon is to Twitter.
Will it federate with Lemmy? I would miss you folks.
It’s my understanding that it will…I believe that’s, also, what it means when they (Sublinks developers) said it would be “Lemmy compatible”.
That could also mean client API-compatible, meaning Lemmy apps would work with it, which doesn’t speak to federation.
Maybe so. We should, probably, ask @Penguincoder@beehaw.org about this.

Thanks for clearing that up!
Indeed, protocol is independent from implementation language, but that isn’t the question at hand.
Do you know whether Beehaw will still federate with the lemmyverse (and therefore the rest of us) after moving to Sublinks?
The current aim of Sublinks is Lemmy parity for V1 release. So yes, I do see Beehaw still federating with Lemmy instances at the on-set.
then what’s the point if you’re still not getting away from the same people?

Y’all just don’t even bother moving your eyes over the text before you post, do you?
