Overview
Lemmy is a link aggregator and discussion forum, similar to Reddit or Hacker News, that you can host yourself. Servers are federated, so someone registered on one server can subscribe to communities on any other and discuss with people registered elsewhere.
What it does well
On Lemmy you subscribe to communities, post links and discussions, and vote and comment on them. Each server sets its own moderation policy, with site admins and community moderators. It's built in Rust with a PostgreSQL database, and is documented for self-hosting.
Why it’s in the collection
Lemmy is the main open alternative for communities that want Reddit-style discussion without depending on a single company. It's AGPL-licensed.
