    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

    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.

    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.

    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....

    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
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Mar 2021
    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
