We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Sublinks, a groundbreaking Link Aggregation Social Network, joining the Fediverse. This innovative platform is designed to revolutionize how we share and discover online. Our dedicated team of volunteer contributors has worked tirelessly, utilizing technologies like Java, Go, TypeScript, and HTML to bring this vision to life. Sublinks promises a user-friendly interface and robust features that cater to diverse online communities. Stay tuned for our launch date, and get ready to experience a new era of social link sharing!
Sublinks will have a fully compatible API with Lemmy so all current Lemmy apps will also work with Sublinks. In fact, discuss.online will switch to Sublinks to fully replace Lemmy once we reach our Parity Milestone.
For more information, visit GitHub - Sublinks and sublinks.org.
Stay tuned for more regular updates as we progress.

I feel so old. I read that entire announcement three times, and still have no idea what Sublinks is.
Basically, it's a replacement for Lemmy. Ground-up rewrite of the source using a language with a much larger community.
@jgrim
Oh, God. This must be the moment when I realize I'm over the hill for real. You're clearly assuming I know what Lemmy is, which implies that most people in this setting would, in fact, know what it is.
But I don't.
Jesus, I'm gonna need some Chivas after this.
There are so many buzzwords in that announcement it makes my head hurt.
In fact, went to sublinks.org and the about section is also full of buzzwords. It’s not clear at all.

Well, I didn't mean to be particularly critical. I just didn't know what it was announcing. Now that you mention it, though, the wording is a bit corpo for the Fediverse.
Agreed, not critical just puzzled.
