Lemmy is a free and open-source self-hosted social networking service, with a format similar to Reddit, Hackernews, and Lobste.rs.[4][5][6] Lemmy is intended to be a decentralized link aggregator and forum using the ActivityPub protocol to operate in the Fediverse. However, anyone can create a self-hosted and independent instance of Lemmy.
It was originally created by the user Dessalines on GitHub and licensed under the Affero General Public License, and now incorporates contributions from many other developers. It is funded by NLnet[7] through the NGI0 Discovery Fund as well as individual donations via Liberapay,[8] Patreon, and OpenCollective.[9]
Client Apps[edit]
There are currently two dedicated Android mobile clients for Lemmy available on F-Droid--Jerboa[10] and lemmur[11][12]--and one for iOS called Remmel.[13] For the Linux desktop there is also an an unofficial snap format client.[14]
Reception[edit]
Android Authority included Lemmy in its list of "10 Best reddit alternatives to try," and has described the project as a decentralized way to share content. Though much smaller than many Reddit alternatives (it currently has about 1,300 monthly active users on 59 instances),[15] the reviewer found it much easier to interact with the the same users there on a regular basis.[16]
The French blogger Korben wrote: "Like on Reddit, you can post links, engage in discussions, vote for content or simply comment on it. But where Lemmy goes further is that it works on a federation principle, where each Lemmy joins a network of interconnected communities managed by independent people or organizations . . . And all this remains transparent to the user who consults the articles of each of these communities on a single homepage where new messages arrive continuously without the need to refresh anything."[17]
