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.

I feel so old. I read that entire announcement three times, and still have no idea what Sublinks is.
Basically, it's a replacement for Lemmy. Ground-up rewrite of the source using a language with a much larger community.
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.
Sorry typo-- meant LASN, Link Aggregation Social Network
Lisn al Gaib! It's the messiah of link interchange social media!
