  31 [Lemmy Dev instance](https://dev.lemmy.ml) *This data is being backed up, and once federation is working, it will be the basis for a main instance.*
  32
  33 This is a **very early beta version**, and a lot of features are currently broken or in active development, such as federation.

  39 [Lemmy](https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy) is similar to sites like [Reddit](https://reddit.com), [Lobste.rs](https://lobste.rs), [Raddle](https://raddle.me), or [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/): you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse).
  40
  41 For a link aggregator, this means a user registered on one server can subscribe to forums on any other server, and can have discussions with users registered elsewhere.
  42
  43 The overall goal is to create an easily self-hostable, decentralized alternative to reddit and other link aggregators, outside of their corporate control and meddling.
  44
  45 Each lemmy server can set its own moderation policy; appointing site-wide admins, and community moderators to keep out the trolls, and foster a healthy, non-toxic environment where all can feel comfortable contributing.
  46
  47 Made with [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org), [Actix](https://actix.rs/), [Inferno](https://infernojs.org), [Typescript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and [Diesel](http://diesel.rs/).
