Lemmy is a link-aggregator and the Template:Internal Link's replacement for Reddit.

What does Lemmy feel like?

Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs or Hacker News: You subscribe to communities that you're interested in, post links and discussions and vote and comment on them.
Communities are similar to forum categories, so Lemmy can be used as a forum.
Since it's part of the Template:Internal Link different Lemmy instances can communicate with each other and to some degree, with the rest of the Fediverse, but discoverability between Lemmy and other parts of the Fediverse is limited.

Template:Internal Link users can take part in Lemmy discussions and subscribe to Lemmy communities. Lemmy doesn't support hashtags as Mastodon yet. Also Lemmy uses Markdown and pictures in a way, that other parts of the Fediverse have trouble displaying.

Lemmy and the Fediverse

Mastodon

Mastodon users can post in a Lemmy community. Go to mastodon, create a post and follow that form :

The first paragraph will be the title in Lemmy

The second paragraph will be the body of your post. You can add some hashtag but it will only work on mastodon as Lemmy doesn't support them.

Once done, mention the Lemmy community where you want to post. @LemmyCommunity@LemmyInstance.tdl

Here is the list of functions supported between Mastodon and Lemmy :

Hashtag	Picture	Picture alt text	Video	NSFW	Poll	Markdown	Mention	Comments	Post (re)editing	Cross-post mastodon to lemmy	private message	Boost	Like
