I've been looking for a free Reddit alternative and preferably one that was federated. I'm not really sure how federation works with this though. A lot of similar sites are just personal projects that people made as a hobby that lack a lot of important features or the interface was really ugly.

I haven't seen how to moderate communities though but the Github page says this can be done, which I consider important since I want moderation to be done by communities and users rather then admins. If there's a quarantine feature similar to Reddit that would be useful too so I don't just have to ban communities.

I have created a post in Fediverse Futures to address Ideas for federating Lemmy to the Fediverse. It is a brainstorm area, so feel free to add your thoughts on what Lemmy should offer :)
