It's pretty close to Reddit, but it's like a whole bunch of smaller Reddits that share posts between each other. The individual Reddits (instances) are generally grouped by hobby, political affiliation, or geographical location, but not always.
You can tell what instance something or someone is from by looking at their name or title. E.g. I'm from lemmy.zip, you can see it after my user name.
The reason that it can't be bought by a billionaire is that even if one instance is bought out, compromised etc, it can just be removed from the group at large, and it continues like nothing happened. I'm simplifying a bit but I hope you get the general idea.
US billionaires aren’t even all American. All billionaires are bad.
y'all don't have to boycot every american, just their economy, so if a based person hosts a lemmy server that helps the open free internet and should not be boycotted
Some Instances Allows Tor:

(Not sure how much good it does, since I kinda already revealed the city I live in through my personal anecdotes. But I suppose I can create another throwaway for more... spicy... stuff)
Some Instances Allows Tor:
Basically every instance except lemmy.world allows Tor
Shouldn't this be posted on other socials instead of Lemmy?
Feel free to, but also be ready to see your post removed anc your account banned
I posted it to Reddit, let's see how it goes
Please report back
I haven't had any issues posting this kind of content to BlueSky and Mastodon.
Already got banned for pro Luigi posting.
Me, too. You have my sympathies.
Sorry to hear
This actually got me pumped and Im American. Long live the resistance.

Can’t stop the signal.
Is the Sync app no longer being updated/maintained/developed? I am having problems with it. Upvotes/downvotes are no longer being showed. Shame because it is my fav Lemmy app.
What, didn't even notice! Thought that I somehow disabled it myself.
Yeah, the dev took our money and bailed.
I don't know if you used to use Sync for Reddit but it was pretty normal for him to go away for a while and then come back with a big update. I'm just assuming that's what is happening at the moment.
Hopefully, it'd be nice if pics, gifs and vids would actually load.
I had a sync sub but since it got abandoned I just cancelled it. Most images or videos wouldn't load, as well as some comments or some random shit. Using voyager now and won't look back. It's much better since the first time I tried it
Honestly same, i feel like pressing the random buttons sometimes causes it to just not want to load, especially if what its loading is videos/gifs
In a perfect world...
Lemmy reminds me of Reddit when I first joined more than a decade ago. I just hope it doesn't go to shit like Reddit has the last few years.
I hope it won't but I won't be surprised if it does. The internet itself is decentralized, and that wasn't enough.
