nice reddit clone

What's interesting about this is not that it's a reddit clone, of which there is no shortage, but that it's a federated reddit clone. It speaks ActivityPub, the protocol used by Mastodon.

I struggled to determine what exactly this was, at first.

The docs[1] are fairly clear, though:

"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.

...

Note: Federation is still in active development"

The lemmy-network is (for now) full of tankies. Just look at this: https://lemmy.ml/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/T...

I mean there’s a lot of that on Reddit too. Check out r/sino
