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.
Can a seedit user control what psts they seed?
Are private communities supported? I guess one way to do this would be to have a website that supports the plebbit protocol but is (somehow?) distinct from the greater IPFS horde? Not even sure if that makes sense, just asking out of curiosity.
implementing control over seeding is on the list of things to do, not yet implemented. same with private communities.
