A link aggregator / reddit clone for the fediverse.

Lemmy Dev instance for testing purposes only

This is a very early beta version, and a lot of features are currently broken or in active development, such as federation.

Front Page Post
main screen chat screen

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, Raddle, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.

The overall goal is to create an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling.

Each lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.

Install

Docker

Make sure you have both docker and docker-compose(>=1.24.0) installed:

mkdir lemmy/
cd lemmy/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/lemmy.hjson
# Edit lemmy.hjson to do more configuration
docker-compose up -d

and go to http://localhost:8536.

A sample nginx config, could be setup with:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/ansible/templates/nginx.conf
# Replace the {{ vars }}
sudo mv nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
