About Lemmy

Lemmy is a federated platform for news aggregation / discussion. It’s being developed by the Lemmy devs: https://github.com/LemmyNet

About Federation

What does this federation mean?

It means Lemmy is using a protocol (Activitypub) which makes it possible for all Lemmy servers to interact.

You can search and view communities on remote servers from here

You can create posts in remote communities

You can respond to remote posts

You will be notified (if you wish) of comments on your remote posts

You can follow Lemmy users/communities on other platforms that also use Activitypub (like Mastodon, Calckey etc) (There’s currently a known issue with that, see here

Please note that a server only starts indexing a server/community once it has been interacted with by a user of this server.

Fediseer & Safelisting

Most Fediverse servers voluntarily participate in the Fediseer program, run by db0. This service allows instance admins to vouch for other known safe instances. It is also one way we combat known bad and malicious actors.
