We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Sublinks, a groundbreaking Link Aggregation Social Network, joining the Fediverse. This innovative platform is designed to revolutionize how we share and discover online. Our dedicated team of volunteer contributors has worked tirelessly, utilizing technologies like Java, Go, TypeScript, and HTML to bring this vision to life. Sublinks promises a user-friendly interface and robust features that cater to diverse online communities. Stay tuned for our launch date, and get ready to experience a new era of social link sharing!

Sublinks will have a fully compatible API with Lemmy so all current Lemmy apps will also work with Sublinks. In fact, discuss.online will switch to Sublinks to fully replace Lemmy once we reach our Parity Milestone.

For more information, visit GitHub - Sublinks and sublinks.org.

Stay tuned for more regular updates as we progress.

    The front-end is coming later. It’s fully compatible with Lemmy’s API so the demo site currently uses the Lemmy front-end.

        Thanks a lot! There are currently 13 contributors; it’s coming together very quickly. I’m super excited.

        We are creating a Sublinks specific API that is much more optimized than the Lemmy one. Our front-end will be using that. Also, we’ll have tons more features that the Lemmy core doesn’t support.

          Not sure if you’re aware of what happened to .world for a few months. If you decide to ascribe any political philosophy or moderation ethics to sublinks, it may be worth checking out the attack vectors used over there. Optimizing sql lookups extendedly occupied the .world admins so you’re already a bit ahead of the curve there.

            The LW admins have helped contribute to Sublinks. They’ve given me full support and access to all resources to help grow it. They’ve been extremely helpful.
