"Do we have a federated Mastodon-esque system to replace Reddit yet?" Yes. It's called Lemmy. https://join-lemmy.org Just found out about it today.

You can change that.


I tried joining, and the sign-up button kept buffering for an hour, and then I gave up hope for joining.


Is there no way to browse without signing in?


Join Lemmy is the introduction website to find one of the many instances.

You should be able to view instances without joining. Checkout my instance: https://reddthat.com

Ps. I've disabled email verification for a short period to allow the influx to happen.


Isn't that an impersonation risk? Anyone can register under my email?


I clicked join a server and it just let me browse no problem.


Ah having issues signing into LemmyWorld. Would like to start building content but the sign-in / registration is a little slow...


The UI is getting there. If the username is not long enough it doesn't show anything for example.

Feel free to come join reddthat.com if lemmyWorld doesn't work for you

I use FreeBSD and no link to the source anywhere within the manual..


It's pretty junior. Buyer beware
