Federated Reddit alternative written in Rust — speaks ActivityPub, every server is its own instance.
Exploded in usage during summer 2023 after Reddit's API price revolt. Largest instances: lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, sh.itjust.works. Communities are called "c/" instead of "r/". Competition in the Fediverse: Kbin (Symfony/PHP, more Mastodon-feeling), Mbin (Kbin fork). The whole "Threadiverse" has stagnated somewhat after the initial Reddit exodus but has a stable core audience.
