        Probably not the reason. Rust is just more systems level and performant than interpreted PHP

          Also Lemmy has been kicking around as a hobby project for a couple years. kbin.social, the flagship kbin instance, was first opened in April. They haven’t even made tools for starting new instances easily yet, and went from a few hundred users to tens of thousands of users basically overnight. It’s a miracle that kbin.social is even still running at all.
