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.

Here is a federated community: !communism@lemmygrad.ml. Just click on it, then you can subscribe, vote, comment etc.

I see, so since all the lemmy instances are federated, I could visit all of them and subsribe to different communities, right?

Yes, just paste the url of a community, post etc into the search bar of your own instance to interact with it.
