Didn't sublinks stall because he had a baby? I remember reading something about it and the plan always being to come back to developing it. Edit: looks like it stalled for other reasons as well https://discuss.online/post/39386407

jgrims stepped back from daily admin duties of his instance (discuss.online) to more fully focus on developing the software. I imagine we won't hear as much about it now that PieFed (+ even its fork PyLova) are on the scene, being a fully featured, fully functional platform, which raises the bar to compare against.

Thanks for the link, that's interesting!:-)

SubLinks was originally written in Java (which is why it caught my interest) and in the link he says that he wants to move to Python. Perhaps I will revisit SubLinks in ~10 years when I have more free time.

I wonder if that will lose a lot of contributors.

The bigger changes involve the switching to a microservices architecture. He might do better at that point to integrate with other projects - PieFed/PyLova, Lemmy, Mbin, nodeBB, etc. - rather than build a new competitor to all of them, but that's my thousand mile away view and maybe that is simply impossible or at least really difficult.
