It'd be great to have this!

The more fediverse apps the better!

Was about to post this one today! glad its already here though...
The Fediverse continues to grow !!

Side note but the name of this project reminds me of this YouTuber: https://www.youtube.com/user/Top10Memes

his slogan is "lemme know" pronounced LEMMiNO lol +1

@plusone-nick reminds me of a friendly lemming.

Oooh, getting close to 1.0! 0.99 came out last month
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases/tag/0.9.9

Would be great to have this (and other fediverse apps!) on Cloudron

Lemmy Release v0.13.0 - Comment and Post reporting are here!

Lemmy is a self-hostable, federated reddit alternative.

One more in the fediverse: https://littr.me/
github
I personally prefer its brutalist style.

@mononym I'd create a new with list post just for that if I were you

I am not against this, but I think there is a better alternative on the way: Plebbit.

There is already a support request for Plebbit on Cloudron:

https://github.com/plebbit/whitepaper/issues/6

I think it might help if some Cloudron developers introduce themselves on that thread.

There is a Plebbit proof of concept now too, but the appropriate link depends on whether you are using Brave browser.

The whitepaper is worth a read, if you are into that sort of thing.

Plebbit

Create an App Wishlist post for it!

[LoudLemur]

@jdaviescoates Thanks for the encouragement. It worked!

@jdaviescoates
Done : https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7316/littr-link-aggregator-with-activitypub-integration
With the number of alternatives beeing suggested it would be a good start to compare the different options. I can see these characteristics coming around :
Hacker News or Reddit Clone | Moderation Style | Production Ready | ActivityPub | etc...

Given that Lemmy is taking off due to the Reddit issues, it seems like it would be very worthwhile for Cloudron to support it.

Lemmy has over 600,000 users now. Deployment of a Lemmy server is currently supported on Yunohost.

Wow!

Censorship is happening on Lemmy by way of de-Federation. As a consequence, some people want to run their own Lemmy servers so as to be in charge of which communities they are able to join. (Though in turn, this puts their own server at risk of being de-Federated.)

@LoudLemur When you check the graphs section at the above page you can see the all of a sudden HUGE surge in use, in this June, following the Reddit glitch. It's significant, not enough to say it.
