Or another term which is more descriptive. This is the first thing people see when they type in Lemmy

    Lemmy was built as a clone of Reddit, but federated.

    Reddit is and has always been called a link aggregator.

    Lemmy technically aggregates links to things as its primary function, and then allows us to talk about those links.

      The term “link aggregator” is not descriptive of any function. Links are posted on any medium including chatrooms like Discord.

      Users can also make posts, such as this one, which do not contain external links. Thus this is a forum.
