About

Sublinks, crafted using Java Spring Boot, stands as a state-of-the-art link aggregation and microblogging platform, reminiscent yet advanced compared to Lemmy & Kbin. It features a Lemmy compatible API, allowing for seamless integration and migration for existing Lemmy users. Unique to Sublinks are its enhanced moderation tools, tailored to provide a safe and manageable online community space. Embracing the fediverse, it supports the ActivityPub protocol, enabling interoperability with a wide range of social platforms. Sublinks is not just a platform; it's a community-centric ecosystem, prioritizing user experience, content authenticity, and networked social interaction

Docker Setup (for dependencies)

To use this Docker setup you first need to complete a few steps:

• Run git submodule update --init --recursive to pull down all submodules
• API_HOST=host.docker.internal docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.backend.yml up [-d]
  • -d to run in detached mode (don't include the [] brackets, they indicate being optional)
  • NOTE: The UI service will fail unless the API is already running. However, the API will complain if the database is not running. However, it is recommended to run the API first and ignore the errors until the database is running

Run

• Run ./gradlew bootRun
• Open localhost:8080
