lemmur

Lemur is a cool cross-platform client that has special apps for Android, Linux, and Windows. It's designed to work with Lemmy, which is pretty neat!

What is Lemmy?

If you haven’t heard of Lemmy, it’s like a mix between Reddit and a link aggregator. Think of it as your go-to platform if you enjoy communities similar to Reddit or sites like Lobste.rs and Hacker News.

The Goal of Lemmy

The main idea behind this platform is to create a self-hostable and decentralized community that works just like Reddit. It gives users the chance to have their own space and connect with others in a unique way.

User Experience with Lemmur

Now, while the client might not win any beauty contests, it does a solid job helping you view posts. You can filter posts easily from the upper left side based on different criteria like active, hot, new, top day, top week, top month, top year, most comments, and new comments.

Getting Started with Your Account

You can actually use lemmur without a Lemmy account. However, if you want to unlock all its features—like sorting posts further or being able to comment and vote—you'll need an account. Once you're logged in, you’re all set! You can manage your accounts easily and even perform advanced searches.

Posting & Interacting

You also have the option to filter posts selectively or post your own stuff! That's pretty much the gist of it.

Lemmy vs Other Platforms

While lemmur’s interface might remind you of other news/link aggregators like Reddit, it’s different because any user can run their own server. All these servers are linked through something called Fediverse.

Subscribe & Discuss!

Lemmur lets you subscribe to forums across various servers mentioned earlier. Plus, you can chat with users from other platforms too! How cool is that?

Lemmur on Different Devices

Even though lemmur was mainly made for mobile devices, it works great on Windows as well! So whether you're at home or on the go, you can stay connected.
