Ask HN: Forum Software Similar to Reddit?
I have not tried this one, but Postmill [1] is similar to HN and phpBB [2] is an off the shelf forum platform with incredible moderator capabilities but I think an add-on is required for voting.

We need to switch to FOSS alternatives like Mastodon and Lemmy.
It doesn't support ActivityPub indeed. Somebody else has to put in that support in Postmill (the link aggregator software powering Raddle), and the developer herself is not interested in implementing that support herself.

It does! The source code seems like gnu-esque licence.

Using AI to make MY OWN Reddit?
Postmill is sort of an old.reddit clone you may be able to bend to do your bidding.

Discussion Thread
I was on a reddit clone for a while for a banned subreddit for my favourite comedy podcast (to remain nameless, but after a while it got racist and I had to leave). They used https://gitlab.com/postmill/Postmill and it worked fine. It's open source so they could modify it a bit (saving posts, bots etc). The main issue was that over time fewer and fewer people came to the site, leaving only the most extreme and toxic people.. The nice thing about reddit is that it provides a fairly constant inflow of people.

Does anyone know of any Reddit / Twitter style websites that use WordPress?
What are you looking for, php engines? They are, some are written, examples: https://gitlab.com/postmill/Postmill. I am doing Agouti myself, but it is only being developed, it in php, but this is more for now an educational project agouti demo, etc.

Facts: Reddit won't die
One of the ironic things is that people are talking about leaving Reddit due to changes to the API and going to sites that don't have well documented APIs at all. Tildes doesn't have one. It looks like they started to make one four years ago and quit. Lemmy does, apparently, have an API but the documentation is garbage for anyone not using their javascript client library. Also, neither of them offer OAuth, so, if you did want to use a third party client, you'll have to give them your password.

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest the killing of 3rd Party Apps! All FOSS apps are 3rd Party Apps. Will /r/linux join the strike?
It doesn't look like it, going by the source code. Lemmy is decantralized.
