Open-source federated alternative to Reddit. There are multiple apps for it already (getting traction).

Decentralized, create an account for a single instance like lemmy.world and you can subscribe to communities from basically all other Lemmy instances.

Requested features actually get implemented because it's open source, unlike private websites that don't care about what their users want.

I've never seen a single post that wasn't rightwing as fuck. Just people complaining about vaccines and libs. Never even seen a real "discussion". 99% of the comments are one-liners

Much less insane censorship than Reddit, a much more mature community which is polite even when disagreeing, and not corporate-owned!

It has good discussion because of no downvotes, turns out they are unnecessary + they allow brigading. Also, discussion is peaceful without anybody being angry on being downvoted.

The level of conversation is much higher, without insults or censorship. The site owners are not partnered with advertisers, so they don't have other allegiances. The site function is very familiar since it's based on the open source Reddit code.

I like that it is on the Fediverse, and federates with Lemmy, meaning that even though it is currently in beta (June 2023) it still has a decent number of active communities available.

Immensely different from reddit. I hope people don't ruin this community, if I could, I'd keep it a secret.

I love that I can use it without having to install an app. I'm sick and tired of companies ruining great communities with forced apps. I hope this site dethrones reddit and teaches them a lesson.
