[Lemmy Dev instance](https://dev.lemmy.ml) *for testing purposes only*

This is a **very early beta version**, and a lot of features are currently broken or in active development, such as federation.

[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).

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.

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.

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.

## Install

### Docker

Make sure you have both docker and docker-compose(>=`1.24.0`) installed:

```bash
mkdir lemmy/
cd lemmy/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/lemmy.hjson
# Edit lemmy.hjson to do more configuration
docker-compose up -d
```

and go to http://localhost:8536.

[A sample nginx config](/ansible/templates/nginx.conf), could be setup with:

```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/ansible/templates/nginx.conf
# Replace the {{ vars }}
sudo mv nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf
```
#### Updating

To update to the newest version, run:

```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dessalines/lemmy/master/docker/prod/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up -d
```

### Ansible

First, you need to [install Ansible on your local computer](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html) (e.g. using `sudo apt install ansible`) or the equivalent for you platform.

Then run the following commands on your local computer:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/dessalines/lemmy.git
cd lemmy/ansible/
cp inventory.example inventory
nano inventory # enter your server, domain, contact email
ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become
```
