I took a quick look while it was up and it was just a user guide, similar to the lemmymigration subreddit

I mean it's easier to develop new features when you're using a language like PHP. I love Rust but it's going to be laughable at how slow they will move new features out compared to other platforms unless they can get a ton of more developer volunteer support (and way less people know Rust to begin with).
How many new features are there really to add?
I'd rather them be made in a much more solid language than having them fast.
Better profiles, followers, better community customization, better embeds, I can keep going on. Yeah, Reddit has a ton of stupid features that nobody asked for but it also has a lot of things that are very good for everyone. Obviously we're still in the early days but they're already running into issues (they are just finishing ripping out all the websockets and chat server stuff, which was one of the big things slowing down instances)
