Lemmy post feed
How to use it
Three steps. Under two minutes. No accounts, no tokens, no developer needed.
Drop in any Lemmy community address, such as [email protected], or a public community URL. Poper resolves the home instance and starts pulling public community posts immediately via the Lemmy HTTP API.
Pick a card, list, masonry, or compact layout for the posts fetched from your Lemmy community. Customize colors, fonts, spacing, and NSFW behavior to match your site.
Paste the Poper embed snippet into your site. Works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Ghost, Framer and 250+ platforms.
Works everywhere
Drop-in install on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, Ghost, and any HTML-friendly stack. No build step, no developer needed.
Plus 250+ other platforms via the embed snippet. If your site can render a <script> tag, it can render the Lemmy Feed Widget: Embed Federated Reddit-Alternative Communities on Any Website.

Use cases
Four buyer types who get the most lift from embedding Lemmy Feed Widget: Embed Federated Reddit-Alternative Communities on Any Website on their site.
After the June 2023 Reddit API price hike killed Apollo, RIF, and Sync, hundreds of thousands of users migrated to Lemmy. Embed [email protected] or your project's home community on the docs site so contributors see federated discussion the moment they land.

Lemmy is impossible for any single company or government to take down. Independent journalism collectives, samizdat communities, and free-press advocacy groups host on Lemmy specifically because of federation resilience. Embed the community feed to surface it on the publication site.
Lemmy's own UI does not ship a polished embed widget. The realistic alternatives are general-purpose widget platforms like Elfsight and Common Ninja. Here is how they stack up for a Lemmy embed.

Open-source maintainers, instance admins, journalists, and privacy-focused brands who switched from one-off instance embeds to Poper.
“I write about open-source tooling and I wanted a live discussion block on my blog that was not tied to Reddit. Embedding !programming from lemmy.ml gave me a federation-aware comment stream that updates on its own and pulls from a community that genuinely cares about FOSS.”
“Poper renders supported posts from a Lemmy community or source; comments are only fetched if the detail UI path requests them.”
“Our documentation site has a community-support section that used to link out to Reddit. We swapped it for a Lemmy embed pointing at our official support community on beehaw.org, and now the most recent questions are right there on the docs page. Plus we own the data.”

On June 1, 2023 Reddit announced that effective July 1, 2023 the Reddit Data API would move to a paid tier, charging $0.24 per 1000 calls above 10,000 calls per month per OAuth client. Apollo, the most popular third-party iOS Reddit app, calculated its bill at roughly $20 million per year and shut down on June 30. Reddit Is Fun, Sync, BaconReader, and Narwhal followed within weeks. The protest blackout in mid-June saw more than 8000 subreddits go dark. For users who already mistrusted corporate social, the API change was the trigger: roughly 700,000 net new users registered on Lemmy instances in June and July 2023, growing the network from a niche FOSS project of 50,000 users to a recognizable Reddit alternative within weeks. lemmy.world went from 1,000 users to over 150,000 in a month. beehaw.org, programming.dev, sh.itjust.works, and lemm.ee all saw similar growth. The lemmy.ml maintainers (Dessalines and Nutomic) went from a quiet weekend project to running infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of users overnight. The surge revealed both Lemmy's strength (federation distributed the load across hundreds of independent instances) and Lemmy's growing pains (the largest instances had to scale Postgres, the federation queue saturated briefly, and several instances added donation drives to cover hosting). For brands, the takeaway is that the Lemmy community now contains the most engaged, most ideologically committed, most technically literate Reddit refugees, which is a high-value audience for developer tools, privacy products, and open-source projects to reach via embeds.

A Lemmy feed widget is an embeddable script that pulls public posts from a Lemmy community on the federated Reddit alternative and renders them on your website with community post display, styling controls, and instance attribution preserved.
