I'm finding I like Lemmy so much more than reddit. The people here are nice. Reddit was rehashed jokes and bitter idiots that'd jump on any tiny issue for the sake of it.

Lemmy is opensource, you can see and get a copy of the source code here. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy There's no development cost because all developers are volunteers at this stage.
For each instance that depends on the admins running that individual instance. The instance I use is being sponsored by a NZ company that are providing the admin's a free virtual server to host on.
I use kubuntu for work. At home I have a mix of centos 7 and ubtunu server.
And another image cause I have not worked out how to make a gallery
Lemmy is less private than reddit. With reddit your comments exist on one server, with lemmy by design for they are spread across different servers in the fediverse and can remain if you delete the original.
Think of it like email, there's no way to recall the email once it's sent and same with your actions on lemmy.
Hello Mojojojojojo
That does make sense, thanks for having a look.
And more interesting, parenting@lemmy.ml exists at lemmy.ml, however even trying to go directly to the community on this instance fails.
We all have to work together so there's an opensource option. This can be as simple as using the software and posting or commenting.
The great thing is this is our space and does not belong to a business.
I'm keen to start using the report feature and know that it's being responded to. I don't have the time to be a moderator myself.
