Lemmy was a great idea. It put reddit into the users hands. Its fast, works well and gave the community control of its community

I’m not endorsing Seedit, but I support decentralized social media and want to share information for those who are interested. This is not promotion, im ust spreading awareness.

I know a lot of people here hate Reddit (rightfully so) because of how they keep banning people for their opinions. If you miss the old Reddit experience but want something that actually decentralized and can’t be taken down, check out Seedit.

• Looks & feels like old Reddit

• Fully P2P on IPFS → No global admin to ban you

• You can self-host your own community

• ENS domains used for subplebbits

• MVP is coming in 2 weeks, and speed will improve

Right now, it’s a bit slow, but once the MVP drops, it’ll be fast. If anyone is seriously interested in running a community, you can dm me I’ll buy an ENS for you.

Seedit doesn’t rely on any servers. It’s pure P2P, running entirely on IPFS. No central authority, it literally can’t be taken down.

Seedit is NOT a Lemmy competitor. It’s part of the Plebbit protocol, which supports multiple UIs. In fact, a Lemmy-style UI is coming soon.

The code is fully open source, If you’re into decentralization and open protocols, check it out.

    I grabbed the app from github and jumped in, then looked through all of the posts on the front page with comments. Crypto, Musk bootlickers, one post has the n word in the title. So what exactly is this? Is it just going to be Voat again?

    My interest is not in the Reddit interface so that’s not a selling point, and frankly the first impression of the users is bad. Is there a sub/community/whatever you can point me to that’s worth participating in yet or should I give it a few months and see how it progresses?

      Yes. This is the only thing such spaces devolve into. Same thing happened/is happening with nostr.

      Yeah, we need better communities, most of them are poorly maintained at the moment. But some of them are cool, like technopleb.eth, plebpiracy.eth, plebmusic.eth, movies-and-anime.eth. You can check out the full list on https://seedit.app/#/communities/vote (this is a maintained list of default subs to show in the app, but you can connect p2p to any sub whatsoever if you know its address, just like you can download any torrent with a torrent client)
