Lemmy

Posts to a community on any Lemmy instance.

Lemmy is federated: you connect to your own instance and post into one community per connection.

Connecting

Accounts → Connect → Lemmy, enter your instance address, username, password, and the community: technology, or [email protected] for a community on another instance. Accounts with two-factor authentication enabled cannot connect today.

What you can publish

LimitValue
Body10,000 characters
Title200 characters, from the post title or the first line of the body
LinkOne URL, used as the post's link
ImageOne, used as the post's link

A Lemmy post is a title plus an optional body and one optional link; an attached image becomes that link. There is no native media upload, no tags, and no thread chains.

Analytics

Per post: upvotes and comments. Recent posts are included in analytics; account-level Lemmy reports a combined post-and-comment count rather than followers. Competitor tracking works: track any public Lemmy user your instance can see.

Deleting

Deleting the post in FoPost deletes it on the instance.
