About

Lemmy is a decentralized, open-source social link aggregation and discussion platform built on the ActivityPub protocol as an alternative to Reddit.

It is built in Rust and features federated communities across instances, upvotes and downvotes, threaded comments, moderation at both community and instance levels, and private messaging.

Mastodon is free, open-source software for running self-hosted, federated social networking services based on the ActivityPub protocol.

It allows users to host independent instances that communicate across the global Fediverse, and supports up to 500-character posts (toots), images, video, audio, polls, local and federated timelines, chronological feeds with no ads or algorithms, and community-based moderation.
