Short description

Lemmy is a reddit fediverse alternative similar to how Mastodon is a fediverse alternative to Twitter. It is the fourth largest fediverse software by number of users according to FediDB, Fediverse Network Statistics

Why I think this tool should be added

Lemmy itself has one of the healthiest fediverse networks and fills a hole for community-oriented social media without trackers. Lemmy also has a good number of servers with a fairly even distribution of users. Other fediverse projects often have an issue where the main server (e.g. mastodon.social) is the largest by far and holds an outmoded influence over the other servers.

For me Lemmy works quite well to a point that I want to hide it, lol

I say No. Let them implement an instance with a working onion address first. Mastodon already did it.

Lemmy literally can’t run without JavaScript enabled.

If I am not mistaken old.lemmy.world works without JavaScript.

Some of the servers do have onion services. There is even official docs for setting it up. Hackliberty at least used to have one, though they shut down their instance due to inactivity and complaints about ‘groupthink’ on lemmy afaik.
