Has anyone looked into this?

I having tried running lemmy on a virtual machine yet, but It looks fairly straight forward, pretty easy to rent a VPS in eastern Europe these days.

A team of 3 to 5 people with moderate linux / sysop/ webdev sklls could easily it running no problem.

A spanish/latin american anarchist lemmy would be poggers also

    I can’t say much about the project right now and sry battery died went to sleep) our project wasn’t going to be federated, there is one federated imageboard out there https://github.com/FChannel0 but i’ve only recently learned about it – their politics are… what you’d expect lol

    there’s a variety fo boards we looks at, here’s a rundown:

    Tinyboard and It’s fork vichan have been the gold standard for imageboards for over a decade, from 8chan, lainchan and archive.arisuchan.jp all run/ran on varients of Vichan/Tinyboard, the problem is tb/vichan were designed for php5.6 and basically break on php7.3 Here’s the vichan main https://github.com/vichan-devel a couple of newer forks a rebirth of tinyboard https://github.com/Circlepuller/Tinyboard/ OpenIB-relaoded https://github.com/9san/OpenIB-Reloaded

    To replace Vichan, a few imageboard engines have been propsed, the most popular is Lynxchan https://gitgud.io/LynxChan/LynxChan JSChan looks promising but still unstable https://github.com/fatchan/jschan/ Gochan is another one http://gochan.org/ Meguca, honorable mention https://github.com/bakape/meguca Even a tinyib has it’s merits https://gitlab.com/tslocum/tinyib

      I think it would be possible to create an imageboard frontend for Lemmy. In our docs we have a page about that.

        I’m sure it wouldn’t be that hard to add anonymity, make it a little more multimedia centric, could totally work as an imageboard.

        Also i with think with the way activity pub works, a lemmy instance should be able to federate with other platforms entirely, like for example if fchan takes off, or if discourse or flarum implement federations, would be possible all these forums could federate together, assuming they all complied to a certain standard – but that is probably a far way off and assumes all these different projects would want to federate with each other.
