stomped out a fully fledged Reddit alternative within a few months, including multiple frontends and apps.

what/who are you referring to? the reddit ceo or reddit users?

They are referring to the lemmy developers

The confusion for me was that when I stomp something out, it dies. That's not the intended verb here, but context clues alone do not a language make.

Mistranslation of the German Idiom "(etwas) aus dem Boden Stampfen", to create (something) from nothing (lit. to stomp (something) out of the ground).

Easy mistake for bilinguals to make, I was convinced it was an English Idiom as well until I looked it up.

Thanks! I have a fondness for German idiom. "The devil shits on the biggest pile" might be my favourite.
