Lemmy is a self-hosted link aggregation and discussion platform. It's like Reddit or Hacker News, but better. Content is organized into communities, so it's easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
features
- full vote scores (+/-) like old Reddit
- emojis with autocomplete support
- themes
- NSFW post / community support
