We are currently finishing to implement the last feature community post tags. Once that is done there is still some cleanup and bug fixing to do. Soon after that we will publish the first beta version of 1.0 (likely in February), and ask app devs to start implementing the new API v4. How long the beta phase lasts is hard to say, it depends how many problems pop up.

Better weird than boring.

Not true, stop slandering.

The main benefit of Rust in our case is not performance, but correctness. Static typing, memory safety and test coverage ensure that things really work. There are no errors from null pointers or anything like that.

Most of these will also be available in Lemmy 1.0 soon!
