Lemmy is an open source, federated forum system similar to Reddit with lots of sites and users:

It does not have as many users as Reddit, but a Reddit paywall might drive more users to Lemmy sites or other alternatives.
- bakioka 2y agoToo complicated for the casual user. Doesn't work.
- JackMorgan 2y agoI disagree, the casual user can sign up for lemmy.world and use the Sync app in two minutes. Only later might they care about what server they are on, but that's a great place to start.
- bakioka 2y agoSure buddy, lets see how that works for you.
- JackMorgan 2y agoI don't understand why you are so negative about this. It's very easy to sign up for Lemmy.world, takes a few minutes. It's not a matter of opinion. Are you opposed to the platform for some reason?
- tumsfestival 2y agoLemmy is so depressing. Half of the posts there are either complaining or reminiscing about Reddit, the other half is political news and the ensuing tribalism. I love the idea, but the platform desperately needs not only more users, but better and more creative users.
- JackMorgan 2y agoI like Lemmy a lot, switched over from Reddit a few years ago and it's so much less toxic. I just filter out all the political stuff and political keywords. Feels like a small Reddit before it was massive and filled with bots and spam.
