    If not Lemmy, what else? Last summer I looked around and Lemmy seemed to be by far the largest that wasn’t on a single topic (ex, Hacker news)

      May I suggest Kbin (or Mbin).
      It is compatible to Lemmys posts and voting and has also Microblogging.

        Kbin doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere. The repos are dead (one commit in the last two months, written in php which is not promising for new contributors), there’s really only one instance of it, and I don’t know of any communities hosted there. There’s also no app support, which is crucial for me to actually use the platform. The concept is good so I’d love to see it continue, but I also wouldn’t invest anything in the platform at this time.

          Kbin is developed by mostly one person, so yes, it progresses quite slowly.
          But there is also Mbin with many improvements and much more active development.

          I’m fully with you, that an API is still missing and would love to see it implemented in the future.
