ActivityPub-powered social link aggregation and discussion
Lemmy is an open-source, easily self-hostable link aggregator that is used to share, discover and discuss whatever comes to mind. Unlinke proprietary services that welcome users only on their own terms, Lemmy instances can each determine their own course. Lemmy implements the W3C ActivityPub standard, and federates with other ActivityPub services such as Mastodon, Funkwhale and Peertube. Users registered on one server from one of these services are able to subscribe to communities on other servers where they can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.
In this project, a number of noteworthy features are worked on, ranging from improving UX, federation, APIs, storage optimisation, tagging, polls, and more.
This project was funded through theNGI0 Core Fund, a fund established byNLnet with financial support from the European Commission'sNext Generation Internet programme, under the aegis ofDG Communications Networks, Content and Technology under grant agreement No101092990.
