  • Full moderation.
    • Both site admins, and community moderators.
    • Can lock, remove, and restore posts.
    • Can remove and restore comments.
  • High performance.
    • Server is written in rust.
    • Front end is ~80kB gzipped.

About

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, lobste.rs, Raddle, or Hacker News. Behind the scenes, it is very different; It allows anyone to run a server (instance), and all instances are federated, and similar to Mastodon, connected to the same universe. For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other Lemmy instance, and can have discussions with users registered on any number of instances.

Why's it called Lemmy?

Made with Rust, Actix, Inferno, Typescript and Diesel

Install

Docker

Make sure you have both docker and docker-compose installed.

git clone https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy
cd lemmy
./docker_update.sh # This pulls the newest version, builds and runs it

and goto http://localhost:8536

Local Development

Requirements

Set up Postgres DB

 psql -c "create user rrr with password 'rrr' superuser;" -U postgres
 psql -c 'create database rrr with owner rrr;' -U postgres

Running

git clone https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy
cd lemmy
./install.sh
# For live coding, where both the front and back end, automagically reload on any save, do:
# cd ui && yarn start
# cd server && cargo watch -x run

and goto http://localhost:8536
