Reddit is scummy, but isn’t Lemmy some weird crypto scam thing?
- RosanaAnaDana 3y agoMore of a federated/ mastadon version of reddit. So it depends on which instances you are looking at.
- dindresto 3y agoLemmy uses the W3C ActivityPub standard for federation. No blockchain involved.
- zeekaran 3y agoNo, it's merely a federated reddit alternative which is why we're discussing it here.
- pierat 3y agoNope, not at all. Lemmy is a Fediverse equivalent of Reddit. Mastodon is a Fediverse equivalent to Twitter and Facebook. There's no correlation to Lemmy and any sort of shitcoin, OTHER THAN lemmy server operators asking for donations. You can learn more here, including how to join a Lemmy server, or to make your own. https://join-lemmy.org/ https://join-lemmy.org/
- wkat4242 3y agoI didn't find anything about that on Google or Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software)
- masklinn 3y agoAFAIK no, it's a fediverse thing. They do have crypto donation links (alongside a bunch of others), but the main devs seem to have more communistic tendencies (what with the big Che github avatars).
- rsynnott 3y agoOne of the more irritating things the crypto people did was to convince the general public that federated services were something they'd come up with, or even that they were only possible through the good offices of The Almighty Blockchain. In practice, federated services that people actually use are generally not crypto-y.
