Does anyone else think that Elixir could be really well-suited to writing fediverse applications? I'm really tempted to try my hand at writing an alternative Lemmy backend. If anyone is feeling the same way, I'd be more than happy to host a project on my GitHub and give y'all access and we can see what we can do.
Yes, I think so. There is a couple Mastodon things written in Elixir (Pleroma being the main one), so i think there’s an activitypub implementation already. Would be nice to have a lemmy frontend that was fast.
There are a handful of fediverse projects in Elixir out there already, like Pleroma. There is also a WIP ActivityPub library out there that might appreciate some PRs.
