Europe Pub

Whether you're a Reddit refugee or just curious about a better, community-driven social network, Europe Pub is the place to connect, share, and support local economies!

What is Europe Pub?

Europe Pub is a European social network built on Lemmy, a federated social network platform. Think of it like Reddit, but with a crucial difference:

What Does Federation Mean?

Federation means Europe Pub isn’t a standalone website—it’s part of a network of connected communities called the Fediverse.

• One account, thousands of communities – No need to sign up on multiple sites.
• Freedom to explore – Interact with people across different communities around the world.
• No single company in control – Communities are run by the people, not corporations.

Think of it like email: a Gmail user can email someone on Yahoo. Similarly, a Europe Pub user can join discussions all around the world—all with the same account!

Why Europe Pub?

• 🔏 Privacy-Friendly: Your data stays protected—we prioritize user privacy.
• 🇪🇺 Hosted in Europe: All data is stored on European servers operated by European companies.*
• 🫂 Community-First: Built by Europeans, for Europeans.
• 🔗 Open & Connected: Seamlessly interact with communities across the entire Lemmy network.
• 🛡️ Transparent & Open-Source: No hidden algorithms or corporate control—everything runs on open-source software.

* Public posts may be visible to other Fediverse instances, regardless of location. However, private data such as email addresses remain secure and are never shared.
