[Lemmy Dev instance ](https://dev.lemmy.ml ) *This data is being backed up, and once federation is working, it will be the basis for a main instance.*

2019-04-22 20:35:51 +00:00
This is a **very early beta version** , and a lot of features are currently broken or in active development, such as federation.

[Lemmy ](https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy ) is similar to sites like [Reddit ](https://reddit.com ), [Lobste.rs ](https://lobste.rs ), [Raddle ](https://raddle.me ), or [Hacker News ](https://news.ycombinator.com/ ): 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 ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse ).
2019-04-22 20:35:51 +00:00
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.
