Follow communities anywhere in the world
Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
Open Source
Blazing Fast
Made using some of the fastest frameworks and tools, including Rust, Actix, Diesel, Inferno, and Typescript.
Powerful Mod Tools
Each server can set its own moderation policy, to help foster a healthy environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.
Create your own discussion platform
With Lemmy, you can easily host your own server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse. For a link aggregator, this means that someone registered on one server can subscribe to communities elsewhere, and can have discussions with people on a completely different server.
