These are some really good points. I’m personally more interested in the development of PieFed than SubLinks due to the focus on making it easy to contribute, the developer cares about usability and mod tools, its in Python, and the developer posts dev blogs and answers questions on mastodon https://join.piefed.social/blog/
I'm the founder of Sublinks. I'm happy to answer questions. You can find me on Mastodon @sublinks@utter.online. You're right about the dev blog. We have a weekly Sublinks team meeting, the results of that could go into a weekly dev update. I've just been more focused on coding than community stuff. I'll do better.
I joined the listed Matrix chat for sublinks to discuss and learn more about the platform; but it seems entirely dead. Is there another reasonable platform for discussion and beta testing/installation?
It's not dead, perhaps you joined at a slow time. We were just chatting a bunch in there about cursor pagination. There are several rooms if you didn't notice. General, Frontend, API, & Federation. Along with Announcements and Support.
Well maybe I joined the wrong room; I'm still in the one above, but there are no channels and no activity. Thanks though, I'll give it another look. EDIT: Yeah, I left and rejoined and all I see going back for weeks is leave/join messages for other user, no discussion. Weird
Perhaps it's your client or the server acting funny. Here are direct links to the open rooms:
Piefed looks very promising indeed
