Lemmy: Federated alternative to reddit

[A Former User]

Lemmy is a bit like Reddit, but federated. It's very nice; I've been trying it out at dev.lemmy.ml. It would be nice to be able to run Lemmy on Cloudron.

I would love to have this app running on cloudron as well, currently using my (withknown) blog to stock my bookmarks but having it in a federated place would be even nicer !

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/

I personally prefer its brutalist style.

[jdaviescoates]

@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.

@LoudLemur said in Lemmy: Federated alternative to reddit:

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.
