| # Awesome Lemmy Instances | |
| This repo was created to help users migrate from reddit to lemmy (a federated reddit alternative). | |
| Because lemmy is federated (like email), there are many different websites where you can register your new lemmy account. In general, it doesn't matter too much which server you register with. Just like with email, you can interact with users on other servers (eg hotmail, aol, gmail, etc). | |
| However, each server has their own local policies and configurations (for example, some lemmy instances disable the "downvote" button). The table below will help you compare each site to decide where to register your new lemmy account. | |
| ### Terms | |
| * Instance = A lemmy instance is a website that runs the lemmy software | |
| * Community = Each instance has many communities. In reddit, **communities were called subreddits**. | |
| * NSFW = Not Safe For Work | |
| ### Legend | |
| * **NU** "Yes" means that **New Users** can register accounts. "No" means that this instance is not accepting new account registrations at this time. | |
| * **NC** "Yes" means that you can create a **New Community**. "No" means that only admins can create new communities on this instance. | |
| * **Fed** "Yes" means that you can interact with other **federated** lemmy instances. "No" means that the instance is partially or fully siloed (you can only subscribe to communities on this one instance or other instances that are explicitly added to an allowlist) | |
| * **Adult** "Yes" means there's no **profanity filters** or blocking of **NSFW** content. "No" means that there are profanity filters or NSFW content is not allowed. Note: "Yes" does not mean all NSFW content is allowed. Each instance may block some types |
