The title says it all: How can we grow the Rust community here on Lemmy? Many users fled Reddit or are here for different reasons. But compared to it's commercial big brother, the Rust community here, feels more or less dead. I would like to discuss ideas, on how we can changes that and make Lemmy the default for Rust related discussions, instead of Reddit.

Earlier today I thought about making a post asking about a design choice for one of my pet projects, but then i thought: Is that really relevant?

There is a lot of generally informative content here, like the talks or blog entries, so I thought it didn't quite fit. Maybe we should start just sharing thoughts on our pet projects and design choices?

I'm building something that will help me create releases for projects on git servers, publish crates, generate change logs and so on. Up to now I was using git2 as a dependency and pushing, tagging and so on with the API, but then I thought "maybe I can just use the cli interface of git", reducing the dependency chain of my crate and not having to worry about finding the right API calls. I'm not sure what the better choice would be. (I'm only using porcelain commands, for now)

This community really lacks more personal questions and thoughts, so it not just fits it is desired!
