We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of Sublinks, a groundbreaking Link Aggregation Social Network, joining the Fediverse. This innovative platform is designed to revolutionize how we share and discover online. Our dedicated team of volunteer contributors has worked tirelessly, utilizing technologies like Java, Go, TypeScript, and HTML to bring this vision to life. Sublinks promises a user-friendly interface and robust features that cater to diverse online communities. Stay tuned for our launch date, and get ready to experience a new era of social link sharing!
Sublinks will have a fully compatible API with Lemmy so all current Lemmy apps will also work with Sublinks. In fact, discuss.online will switch to Sublinks to fully replace Lemmy once we reach our Parity Milestone.
For more information, visit GitHub - Sublinks and sublinks.org.
Stay tuned for more regular updates as we progress.
Basically, it’s a replacement for Lemmy. Ground-up rewrite of the source using a language with a much larger community.

Oh, God. This must be the moment when I realize I’m over the hill for real. You’re clearly assuming I know what Lemmy is, which implies that most people in this setting would, in fact, know what it is.
But I don’t.
Jesus, I’m gonna need some Chivas after this.
Lemmy is the software that runs discuss.online, lemmy.world, etc.

Brother, you’re makin’ it worse…

Twitter is to Mastodon as
Reddit is to Lemmy (and now Sublinks)
I thought I was pretty familiar with the fediverse (joined mastodon in 2018) but I don’t understand what some of that means. What is a Link Aggregation Social Network and why is it capitalised?
Lemmy, Reddit, Sublinks, Kbin are all Link Aggregation social networks. They mostly share links to articles and the like. It’s just the category they’re in.
Lemmy and Reddit are LASNs. They collect links for people to comment on.
What’s an LISN ?
Edit: @feathercrown edited their post which originally said LISN.
Lisn al Gaib! It’s the messiah of link interchange social media!
Sorry typo-- meant LASN, Link Aggregation Social Network
