There's already a PHP backend, kbin, though judging which is a better language for this sort of thing is outside of my wheelhouse.

Oh, interesting, I hadn't heard of this. I hope this fork is amicable? Ernest has struck me as being a reasonable dev from what I've seen of his public interactions, I'd hate to hear that there's drama afoot.

Delivery is faster, they just released a new version this week. PR review is faster, which helps a lot.
Fedia.io is running it

Are they still calling communities “magazines”?

I think so, that’s not that big of a deal, is it?

I find the terminology of Kbin confusing and it’s one of the things putting me off it, personally. I don’t think referring to a shitposted meme as an “article in a magazine” makes a whole lot of sense, and from an onboarding perspective it seems more intuitive to work with familiar terms like “community” and “post”. Especially with the microblogging integration: if you want to make a thread somewhere you have to click “create article” because “create post” will have you make a microblog instead.

The best way to tell if php is the best language for something is simple. It isn’t :-p
But at least it’s not perl running out of cgibin.
