What is Lemmy?
Lemmy is a platform within the fediverse that functions similarly to Reddit. It comprises a server-side application that you can host, along with client applications such as Mobile webapp, Android, and iOS apps. This allows users to engage and interact with Lemmy through various channels.
How is lemmy different from reddit ?
What makes it different from Reddit is that instead of a single company managing the servers for all users, anyone can start their own Lemmy server and be part of the community (called fediverse). Or you can join one of the existing servers(called instances) like this and interact with the rest of the fediverse. What makes this possible is a standard protocol called activitypub, which is like a common language that all these servers use to talk to each other. This is similar to how email works (different servers send email to each other using a common protocol). Because of the decentralized design, no single entity has too much power in an ideal federated system.
Lemmy is still under active development, due to the decentralised architecture and early stage of the project there are still some bugs and usability issues.
