    @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.

            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.

                I think the fact it's possible to do this on the fediverse is a feature, not a bug 🙂

                  @jdaviescoates Yep, but not a very attractive feature. If ONE community on a different server goes bezerk, and the admin of your server chooses to de-federate, ALL communities of the different servers are gone for you. Of course, you can open an account on the de-federated server afterwards but then this whole federation thing gets pointless.

                      I have no inside information and have not fact-checked this, but I thought I'd leave a link to this post here:
                      https://medic.cafe/users/mikka/statuses/110623109627073961
                      It's one of many posts I've found regarding kbin probably being the more ethical alternative.
