Gopher Protocol (2020)
Here's also a read-only NNTP/Usenet bridge for HN you can self-host https://github.com/epilys/nntpserver.py/blob/main/examples/h...

Show HN: Circumflex, browse HN in your terminal
Here's a single file, no dependency nntp / Usenet server library in python3 I wrote. It includes an HN gateway as an example. I have used it with slrn (tui), meli (tui), pan (gui) and thunderbird (gui)

Ask HN: I miss Usenet. Are there any modern equivalents?
I wrote a dependency tree python3 library to make your own NNTP servers:
https://pypi.org/project/nntpserver/0.0.3/
https://github.com/epilys/nntpserver.py
It's used in my link aggregator forum, https://sic.pm/ which also has a mailing list bridge functionality.
As a demo, I have implemented a HN mirror on NNTP: (quoting README.md)
hnnntp.py querying news.ycombinator.com (hackernews) API and caching results in an sqlite3 database. A public instance might be online at nessuent.xyz:564 (TLS only)

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).

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
