Once upon a time, there was even a custom software frontend being developed for it called Hoot: https://github.com/ProjectHoot/Hoot

Lemmy Release v0.12.0 🥳 . User and Community blocking, lean federation, and a whole lot more. Lemmy's a federated reddit alternative written in Rust.
/r/TheMotte was looking for a self-hosted Reddit alternative and Lemmy was in the cards, but it was decided against on the basis of the project's explicit ideological commitments. In the end they settled on Lotide + Hoot.

State of the Subreddit: Victims of Our Own Success
However, /r/GoldandBlack has been making their own plans - see here - and their approach, which I admit I'm kinda liking, is to start with a federated backbone (lotide, in their case) and build a new interface on top of it (which they're calling Hoot). This has the big advantage that a lot of communities could jump ship at once and form a sort of metacommunity, each running their own server but cross-accessible via federation, without any individual community being beholden to anyone else's rules.
- Coders: We would like more people to take a crack at the issues currently in place for Hoot (this subreddit's plan to replace Reddit). Once we get some of these taken care of, we can start moving a substantial amount of content OFF reddit and onto a platform WE control.

Best open-source Reddit software?
I just checked and Ruqqus is licensed under LGPL, the way I understand it is you can use LGPL software as-is alongisde other software without open sourcing the other software, however if you make changes to the LGPL software then you need to open source those changes... Scored might very well be a modified version of the Ruqqus codebase, which in that case means it's violating the LGPL license.

Kaashi.org claims to be “open-source” without providing any source code. That’s because they stole everything from Ruqqus.com’s GitHub repository and couldn’t even be bothered changing stuff
The website claims to be open source, because it has to be as it’s using Ruqqus’ source code. However they try to hide all references to this and even fail to stay under the source code’s LGPL 2.1 license which states the source code must remain open.

I missed the hype train that was Ruqqus and can no longer access the website. Are there any Reddit Alternatives that are utilising the Ruqqus codebase?
you can visit https://github.com/ruqqus/ruqqus and with a bit of time and money you can spin up your own

those SJW rules the automod gives are pretty cringe man
i don't need censorship because i know that my beliefs are correct. the reason bigots get deplatformed is because there is simply no good reason to have them around. they poison any community they infiltrate. even ruqqus a reddit alternative advertised as censorship-free realized that there is no good to platforming bigots even if you call yourself a free speech platform.

Currently what's the best reddit alternative?
Honestly nothing has the amount or diversity of content you find here. https://ruqqus.com had potential I thought but it seems to be dead
