For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that's been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?

I couldn't find a MAU count either, but the largest, default community is Discuit with current 4,594 members, which I suspect is not too far below lifetime active users.

As a point of comparison, the largest Lemmy instance, lemmy.world has 12k MAUs out of 143k lifetime users. If this ratio is the same on Discuit, would imply about 400 MAUs.
