Deploy Lemmy in one click installation.
Federated link aggregator and discussion platform that lets communities run independent forums interconnected through the ActivityPub Fediverse.
What you can build with Lemmy
Lemmy is a free, open-source federated link aggregator and discussion platform — think Reddit, but every server is run independently by its community, and all servers interconnect through the ActivityPub protocol so users can subscribe to communities across the Fediverse. Built in Rust for low resource usage and high concurrency, Lemmy delivers threaded comments, vote-based ranking, custom community moderation, multiple sort algorithms, and a polished web UI.
Self-hosting Lemmy on your VPS lets community organizers, hobby groups, and niche interests run their own forum without ad-supported revenue models, algorithmic feed manipulation, or data collection from a central platform. The bundled PostgreSQL and pict-rs image hosting keep everything inside your infrastructure.
Key features of Lemmy
Federated communities
Users on any Lemmy instance can subscribe to communities on your server, and your users can subscribe to communities anywhere in the Fediverse.
Threaded comments and voting
Familiar Reddit-style threaded discussion with up and down voting, multiple sort algorithms (hot, top, new, controversial), and infinite threading depth.
Per-community moderation
Each community has its own moderators with granular permissions, custom rules, and a dedicated mod log for transparency.
Built-in image hosting
Bundled pict-rs server lets users upload images and videos directly to your instance without external CDN or third-party services.
Anti-spam features
CAPTCHA on signup, rate limiting, instance-wide allowlists and blocklists, and configurable registration applications keep spam and abuse manageable.
Mobile apps
Multiple iOS and Android apps connect to any Lemmy instance, so users can browse and post from any mobile client they prefer.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
