Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps
The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.
You're viewing a single thread.
is lemmy and kbin the only two federations that's reddit-like for now?
I think Lemmy is reddit like, so any server running lemmy will be reddit like.
yes, I mean derivatives of those "softwares"--is that the right term? I mean, lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, lemmy.one for examples are servers / instances, but they're in the same "family", which is Lemmy. Same thing with kbin, there are kbin.social, karab.in, forum.fail are the instances of the same kbin "family"
for now I see that link aggregator & discussion model (reddit-like) "software" is Lemmy and Kbin
I wonder if there are other softwares beside those two. Though for now I think it's... sufficient ? if the reddit post discredit lemmy, then do they provide the way to kbin instead? if not, does it matter if the admin or dev of main lemmy software and instance have differing views in life? would it affect the other lemmy servers as well?
in other words, can the main lemmy devs affect the other instances / servers due to their problematic worldview ? or will it be contained to the servers that they maintain ? How much "independence" do each of these servers have ?
It's just software. And it's open source. That's about it. Don't like the software? Fork it, or just don't upgrade.
The Lemmy devs get no say in administration, other than the instance they run. Don't like Lemmy.ml? Run your own. They actively encourage other communities with competing world views to do so.
The fact is that despite being openly supporting communism, the Lemmy devs have done more for the online free market in two years than the tech giants have done in decades. This speaks volumes.
