## A decentralized, censorship-resistant, and privacy-preserving social network
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
