    @Lemmyin I just want that Infinity for Reddit get Lemmy and Kbin added to it.
    By far the best Reddit client. I really love the gesture navigation on it.
    There’s no other app close to it.

      I was looking at jerboa and it called Lemmy a “federated” alternative to Reddit. What does federated mean in this context?

        There is no central Lemmy servers. Everyone can run a Lemmy server, which is called an instance. The instances talk together and sync posts and comments between them.

        The admin of an instance (usually the owner of the server) is in total control of what goes and what does not on the instance, and which other instances to federate (sync) with.

        When you create a community, you choose an instance that the community lives on. The community is then in the hands of the admin of that instance and the mods assigned by the admin to that community.

      For me it was Relay. Absolutely perfect in every way, and the gesture navigation was so intuitive. Currently using jerboa for Lemmy and excited to see where it goes or what other apps become available for it
