https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy is a social link aggregator very similar to Reddit, powered by fediverse. Think of it like anyone can host an instance for their community, and all instances can interact with each other. For example check out the instance at https://beehaw.org/

I use old.lemmy.world for a Reddit classic experience.

There's also a *monkey script for an old.reddit UI[1] (no affiliation).

Lemmy is fantastic and the devs seem to be actively fixing bugs and introducing new features, but imo they desperately need to build an automoderator.

I've had a Lemmy instance for a niche hobby built and waiting to go live for months now, but I'm not going to subject myself to the headaches of fully manual moderation.

There are a few unofficial repos for Lemmy automod functionality, but last time I checked, they all appeared to be early alpha stage.

It seems like a glaring oversight by the core contributors, and I don't understand how it's not a top priority.
