What is Lemmy?
Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.
Major Changes
This version fixes the problem of comment context not loading properly. It also fixes a couple other bugs.
Support development
@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.
If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. No one likes recurring donations, but they’ve proven to be the only way that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.

This one. And 2-3 others that popped up in the federated timeline recently.
Hexbear nods
What is hexbear btw?
Old lifeboat from the r/chapotraphouse banning 3 years ago. It almost instantly became the largest lemmy instance at the time and so the devs next bunch of patches were optimising so our servers weren't crash constantly. I think that state of affairs kinda maintained until the reddit blackout. Officially, it's non-sectarian leftism, but practically speaking it's a more shitposty less serious lemmygrad with way higher throughput. Also for a non-trans focused space online, it's very trans.
The name itself was just the meme that was popular on r/cth at the time of shutdown ("Look at this dope ass bear
"), and there was a vote to move away from the podcast themed name.
Because of the load and a few other things (I don't remember, I'm sure there was drama), there was a lemmy fork that only recently got reintegrated, but it means hexbear is now federated into the lemmyverse.
