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.

    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.

      it’s funny, because I’m reading your comment from lemmy! to me, you’re already “on Lemmy” so good job.

      In old man terms: it’s just a bunch of websites that talk to each other. we share links and memes, using some sites with a reddit aesthetic (lemmy), some with a twitter aesthetic (mastodon), but all (most of) the content gets posted to each other. me, I found my way here from the announcement being linked on Lemmy.

      and you’re not missing much from the announcement. they didn’t really say anything substantial. it’s all just corporate speak - bedazzled promises yet to be delivered. we’ll see what they launch when they launch it, but i stopped caring by the time i read “innovate” and “revolution”. at the end of the day it’s gonna be pizzas and cats.

      There are so many buzzwords in that announcement it makes my head hurt.

      In fact, went to sublinks.org and the about section is also full of buzzwords. It’s not clear at all.
