    • Can remove and restore comments.
  • High performance.
    • Server is written in rust.
    • Front end is ~80kB gzipped.

About

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, lobste.rs, Raddle, or Hacker News. Behind the scenes, it is very different; It allows anyone to run a server (instance), and all instances are federated, and similar to Mastodon, connected to the same universe. For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other Lemmy instance, and can have discussions with users registered on any number of instances.

Why's it called Lemmy?

Made with Rust, Actix, Inferno, Typescript and Diesel

Install

Docker
