Reddit faces content quality concerns after its Great Mod Purge
Throat is a pretty decent open source project for running a Reddit-alike forum, without all the fediverse bloat: https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat

Daily General Discussion - June 16, 2023
For Reddit alternatives, it looks like https://saidit.net/ (https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) and https://phuks.co/ (https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat) could be viable alternatives. They're open source, have the UX features we desire (threaded, voting, sorting, collapsing).

Announcing UPVOTO - a Reddit alternative that respects your freedom of speech, opinion and expression
There's actually a few like-minded people involved. It is built off the top of a modified Phuks.co repo (GitHub).

Subreddit with almost 2M subs tries to migrate to custom platform
> On another note, I do not understand why all these banned subreddits that try to migrate to their own site always try to create their own software.
Not all. The admins of Ovarit [1] decided to use Throat [2] rather than roll their own from scratch. By all accounts, it's working very well for them.

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: 'It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company'
And while the content of the site is kind of... well, despicable and kinda fucked up, this project: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit has made tons of fixes and improvements to the code itself going forward, so there's one source of fixes/improvements to draw from, as well as a few other active forks.

Popular Reddit client Apollo will shut down after talks over new developer fees got 'ugly,' with allegations of blackmail
In fact one site I found a repo for has done so and has made many fixes/improvements to that code -> https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

Apollo Backend just made public, "The goal of making the code for this repo available is to show that despite statements otherwise by Reddit...
One codebase that could probably work is this one: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit but there are others out there.

Apollo will close down on June 30th
Why not point Apollo at a Reddit alternative, or use the open-source code for Reddit (or code like this https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) instead of shutting it down?
If Apollo's users (or a good percentage of them) moved over to an alternative platform, that would be poetic justice, at least.

There is an archive of the reddit source code. It is still available
saidit went down this path, and it was indeed a nightmare. what reddit had posted publicly was unusable and misleading, effectively token open source. if anyone is brave enough to try, they should check for fixes here: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

Reddit may force Apollo and third-party clients to shut down, asking for $20M per year API fee
People have even forked reddit already (don't know much about that site) : https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit
