Lemmy as an non-US alternative to Red dit, using people-owned servers
Here's a post that explains what Lemmy is - it's a decentralised link aggregator that's an alternative to Reddit 🇺🇸.
See: https://old.reddit.com/r/BoycottUnitedStates/comments/1jrcrh6/lemmy_as_an_nonus_alternative_to_red_dit_using/
It lists some of the largest Lemmy instances by 🇪🇺 country, as well as an FAQ on how it works.
We've been boosting a bunch of posts from Lemmy instances, since it's based on ActivityPub protocol, so it's interopable with Mastodon.
But we're thinking of joining Lemmy, just to be able to use and test it and form an opinion. The tricky bit is choosing an instance 😅. We care more about a nice and open community to diversity of opinions than if it's in Poland or Finland or any other EU country. (suggestions?)
