Is it possible to host a lemmy instance over I2P?

I think yes possible ,but I don't think it will able fedrate with other instances..

Do you know why?

Would it be able to federate with other instances that use I2P?

It may be possible to federate with other i2p instances, if not, I'm guessing it would require fairly simple code changes to lemmy to be able to point to other .i2p addresses.

To federate with clearnet, I think an instance would need to kind of act like a bridge that uses both clearnet and i2p; so it wouldn't be "hidden." I see there is also an exit node network (ran by StormyCloud) on i2p now, but that may be too slow for federation.

Edit: I imagine most clearnet instances would not want to federate with a darknet instance due to the higher probability of illegal content being posted.

I'd wager you could... kind of... the issue is nothing not I2P would be able to see the server by its I2P domain, sort of like running an .onion, so no other fediverse things could federate to you. In theory you could probably rig up one clearnet domain to be federated to which is also reachable by users on I2P, though...

Federation would be pretty bad.

Would be a lot easier to build a JavaScript free reddit

Already exists (Ramble). It's just pretty dead.

Redlib is alive and well

Redlib is an alternate frontend to reddit.com.

I can't find "Ramble" so I'm guessing they might mean Raddle, which is a reddit-like website of its own, similar to Lemmy (without federation)

Sounds nice! Can we have a JS-free Reddit please? 😇

Not sure. But sounds like there would be something similar on nostr.
