Lemmy

A decentralised discussion platform for communities.

Lemmy is a discussion platform that is truly free. You choose which communities to be a part of and which posts to see. You can use extensive blocking and filtering tools to sort and curate your feed. You are in control and not a corporation, so there is no tracking, advertising nor secret algorithms. And you can follow the development in the open, or get your own ideas included.

Decentralized and Selfhosted

The Lemmyverse consists of hundreds of interconnected servers operated by different people. You can also run Lemmy on your own server, using easy installation methods via Ansible or Docker. Resource usage is very low thanks to Rust, so it can run on a small Raspberry Pi or alongside other services.
