Hello, I am the operator of a small Lemmy instance called MaiionChat. Apologies in advance, if this post does not meet the formatting requirements of this community and/or if the number of communities is too excessive or too redundant of other existing communities.
The first 5 communities on the table were created recently. All the communities on the table above have content. Every hour, new content is added automatically by a bot depending on time frame and the source’s availability. All these communities are places that welcome additional content and discussion from anyone from any instance (that aren’t blocked).
From this Tor Project forum post, I recently learned that Reddit operates their own onion service. In response, I decided to do the same. This is the onion link to my Lemmy instance:
maiion33jgwybulqceh6a4mum2c4xuoh2rovvwvtcys565zlbc7litqd.onion
While you need the Tor Browser for the link above, you can still access my instance at: https://chat.maiion.com
If there are any communities/subreddits you want me to add, please comment them here or post it in [email protected], and I will see what I can do. Registration is open for anyone interested in viewing and communicating with other Lemmy communities over Tor. Please use a regular email address if you are going to register. Email addresses ending in .onion are not supported on this server.
Lastly, this is something noteworthy from the official Lemmy documentation.
Note that federation is not currently supported over the Tor network. An existing Lemmy instance is required. This procedure will proxy Lemmy though Tor, but federation tasks are still handled by HTTPS on the open internet.
Tor (“The Onion Router”) is software designed to circumvent censorship and prevent bad actors from monitoring your activity on the internet by encrypting and distributing network traffic through a decentralized pool of relay servers run by volunteers all over the world.
A Tor hidden service is only accessible through the Tor network using the .onion top-level domain with the official Tor Browser, or any client capable of communicating over a SOCKS5 proxy. Hosting a service on the Tor network is a good way to promote digital privacy and internet freedom.
Hey I really love this idea. Hopefully we get a nice implementation of Tor and I2P somwhere in the future. Wish you all the best for your instance!
