Ask HN: Anyone Building a Competitor to Reddit?
If you're interested in Go, I develop such a project and the plumbing required for it.
The code is at https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr and you can check it out at https://brutalinks.tech

Major Reddit communities will go dark to protest threat to third-party apps
For people favouring to the old reddit interface more, I created another federated alternative: https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr (with an example instance at https://brutalinks.tech).
Sadly it received less publicity and mind share than lemmy, so not everything might be up to the expectations of the HN crowd.

is anyone currently developing an app that could be a better alternative to reddit?
The code is on github: https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr An example is at: https://littr.me Status: not done.

Littr – Link aggregator inspired by Reddit and HN using ActivityPub federation
Considering it's received HN's kiss-of-death, perhaps a pointer to the code is useful: https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr

[META] Like Rationalists Leaving A . . .
If you're interested in another option to lotide, I'm working on a very similar project to it, called brutalinks. You can check it out an example instance at https://brutalinks.tech. The code is on github and sourcehut.

Ask HN: Who Wants to Collaborate?
I started a go project to create a link aggregator similar to HN and old reddit, but built on top of ActivityPub.
It's targeted at small to medium communities, but at the same time it can reach outward through the federation mechanism that ActivityPub provides. Outside of immediate support to intercommunicate with other instances of its own platform, it will handle interactions from the larger fediverse at large: Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, etc.
Currently this is a one man project, namely me, and I would welcome support in any area that people could help: development, design, documentation, graphics, copy, etc.
The project can be found at https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr, and if anyone is interested there is a mailing list where people can get in touch: https://lists.sr.ht/~mariusor/activitypub-go
Some details about the project can be found on its wiki: https://man.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/brutalinks/index....

Reddit/Forum like Fediverse app?
https://littr.me/ is another federated reddit-like project under development, a "link aggregator" as they call it. https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr

Reddit hires its first chief financial officer as it prepares for an IPO
I see that people already recommended lemmy, but if you're looking for something closer to old reddit and hacker news I am working on https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr. An example instance is at https://littr.me

Reddit: Online Presence Indicators
I'm building something that could help in this regard: https://github.com/mariusor/go-littr
It's a distillation of the early reddit into a discussion platform that speaks activitypub. This means that the goal is not to have "one site" to rule them all, but that communities can each create their own and then interact with others if they chose to.
An demo instance is at https://littr.me

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.

[2] - https://www.phpbb.com/

PhpBB
Another one like that I saw recently was Postmill [1a][1b] but I have not tried it.

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.
