unfortunately Lemmy is dead https://media.tenor.com/Pm2pAM1kjYwAAAAM/lemmy-kilmister-awesome.gif

For those that are curious https://join-lemmy.org

Hah?

Been planning to join it for a bit now. While this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBhDWTZDH9c ) is helpful in explaining how Lemmy works differently than Reddit, I wonder how it is as well.

Hope you mean this Lemmy 😄 Lemmy is a decentralized, open-source platform similar to Reddit. It allows users to share and discuss links. Lemmy emphasizes privacy and is self-hostable, meaning you can host your own Lemmy instance on your server. It also supports interactions between different Lem...

Lemmy is for Reddit what Mastodon is for Twitter. Personally, I was disappointed that it doesn’t connect with Mastodon well despite using ActivityPub. And I’ve already seen a server switch admins and shake up their content policies. My biggest issue with the Fediverse is that I’m required to...

It’s a Reddit-esque mastodon type of thing it’s great but low traffic - p sure that’s what you are talking about

🤷

Motorhead??

The authors are quite strong on communism and socialism (it's in their profiles), but it's open source and it generally works ok and as you would expect. It's based on ActivityPub, but not that integrated. I think PixelFed is more interesting (it's a different thing, but as example of activitypub b...

lemmy is Actitypub federated Reddit. It’s ok, but has the same problem other mainstream Activity Pub implementations like Mastodon has, which is micro Statism. i.e “agree with our micro State governance model or piss off”. You can get around much of this by hosting your own instance, but not e...

Can we build Reddit-likes on nostr instead?

A good federated alternative to reddit but Nostr communities like with satellite.earth does mostly the same thing + unlike lemmy you use your public-key so it's more trustless.

I'm on a couple of instances, it's fine for what it is as a reddit alternative, but it's hard to find communities (I guess sub-lemmys?) I'm interested in so far, and some of the instances have kind of bad moderation vibes where they're hyper-aggressive in that mastodon way of assuming users are inhe...

It is an ActivityPub reddit clone. It's decent but AP has an ID problem IMO https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/src/api_routes_http.rs

As others have said, Lemmy is a federated Reddit alternative. If you're open to Fediverse/ActivityPub, I prefer Kbin, which can federate with Mastodon and Lemmy pretty well. I host my own instance. I know people are building reddit-like stuff on Nostr too but I like to check out everything. I can s...

Fediverse Reddit. It's surprisingly pleasant to use, but being ActivityPub-based it has the same protocol-level issues as Mastodon.

Lemmy is a legend. http://nostr.build/i/10d740ea63d92a38c6703fa7dd233e616d68d64a5ff8e59166a5a0e929c06097.jpg

Lemmy is the same as Fediverse and/or centralised web. You are in the hands of server owner(s) and their content policy. Nothing different or innovative there. Btw take my remaining sats (altough the amount is too low), and do something good for #nostr. I just zapped you.

Lemmy is federated activity pub enabled reddit

It's alright. It's a link aggregator and threaded discussion server like reddit, but federates overActivityPub. It works fine, it's a good way to move community hosting back to the people that use the web. It isn't perfect but it will do. I personally prefer Brutalinks https://git.sr.ht/~mariusor/b...

lemmy : https://github.com/LemmyNet ?

It depends, in my country it's a nft and the name of the ceo of an exchange haha.

Do you mean Lenny? http://nostr.build/av/4e74f4321854f89a6c5ec5e910d36f9f6c5b374789431d58e44e3189ad6c29b3.mp4

Thanks for mentioning nostr on your interview with Russel Brand. I am hear b/c or that + my quest to figure out Lemmy!

Its basically where people go to defederate and talk in a echo chamber. Oh it looks like reddit and is made by communist CCP shills.

Lemmy sucks. Too much censorship. Used for a couple days, made one post featuring an article I did on CBDC and alternatives and was banned. Most instances are like this apparently
