The Threadiverse is growing again, this time offering an effort to build a new Lemmy replacement from scratch, with API compatibility.

Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps of choice.

    But you really dont see what the function wants or requires or returns ( except with typehints, but they dont work most of the time and then its not enforced in any way )

      Larger, modern python projects always use type hints, for this specific reason.

      In the past you had PyDoc, which also scratched that itch.

      Barring that, contributing to a python project is very difficult without an IDE that performs type checks for you (which is unreliable).
