Lemmy Release v0.12.0 🥳 . User and Community blocking, lean federation, and a whole lot more. Lemmy's a federated reddit alternative written in Rust.
/r/TheMotte was looking for a self-hosted Reddit alternative and Lemmy was in the cards, but it was decided against on the basis of the project's explicit ideological commitments. In the end they settled on Lotide + Hoot.
- Linux has a interested history. This is one of early emails from Linus that started Linux as a hobby project, now it's running on 95% of servers and phones.

State of the Subreddit: Victims of Our Own Success
However, /r/GoldandBlack has been making their own plans - see here - and their approach, which I admit I'm kinda liking, is to start with a federated backbone (lotide, in their case) and build a new interface on top of it (which they're calling Hoot). This has the big advantage that a lot of communities could jump ship at once and form a sort of metacommunity, each running their own server but cross-accessible via federation, without any individual community being beholden to anyone else's rules.
- Coders: We would like more people to take a crack at the issues currently in place for Hoot (this subreddit's plan to replace Reddit). Once we get some of these taken care of, we can start moving a substantial amount of content OFF reddit and onto a platform WE control.
- Is this sub going the way of r/libertarian?

Ask HN: Forum Software Similar to Reddit?
I have not tried this one, but Postmill [1] is similar to HN and phpBB [2] is an off the shelf forum platform with incredible moderator capabilities but I think an add-on is required for voting.
