About Lemmy
Lemmy is an open source, self-hostable link aggregator and discussion platform. It functions as a decentralized alternative to Reddit, allowing anyone to create and manage their own community with full control over moderation and appearance. The software is built to be easy to deploy on your own server, giving you ownership of your content.
Built on the ActivityPub protocol, Lemmy can federate with other instances and platforms like Mastodon and PeerTube. It offers features such as voting, commenting, posting links or text, and customizable moderation tools. The backend is written in Rust for performance, while the frontend uses React for a responsive user interface. It supports plugins and custom themes.
Lemmy is ideal for web hosts, developers, or communities wanting a platform independent of corporate silos. Licensed under AGPLv3, it ensures that the software remains free and open. It has been adopted by numerous communities for both public and private discussion forums.
