Lemmy Instances
Lemmy websites function like individual Reddit clones. Lemmy’s tech is free and open-source, but regular users should stick with established instances like lemm.ee. Each instance has its own storage for posts and users.
Lemmy Federation
Different Lemmy instances collaborate and share data - all instances display identical content. You can even interact with content on instances that are currently offline.
Navigating
To interact with users or communities from other instances, use the search bar on your home instance. For communities, use "![community-name]@[instance-name]", for users "@[user-name]@[instance-name]". Always share the original post link between instances.
Defederation
Owners of instances can choose to block content from other instances. Choose an instance that matches your views on content moderation.
Fediverse
Lemmy is part of the Fediverse, a global network of platforms using ActivityPub, including Mastodon (Twitter alternative) and kbin (Facebook alternative).
