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.

Discussion Thread
I have left reddit for Voat due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views.
- YSK Reddit will soon eliminate third party apps by overcharging for their API and that means no escape from ads or content manipulation
-
Reddit may force Apollo dev and other third party clients to shut down
Oh true, I forgot about that myself. Looks like the repo is still available - https://github.com/voat/voat
-
📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is.
What is the next reddit though? I tried to jump onto voat.co, but that was a POS. Mastadon isn't cutting it, and is more of a twitter alternative anyway. Maybe somebody virtualizes a bunch of PHPBB instances (one per community)? And copies all the old discussions over?

Whats the most ridiculous thing youve seen during the pandemic?
Yes. I had forgotten about the vaccine passports. I got mine from voat.co and printed it up and no one ever asked me for it except at a bar. The hospital I work for didn't ask me for it because they peeked at all employees' medical records.

Is the USA a failed society?
There used to be this site called voat.co

Is there an Open Source version of Reddit?
The old Voat site was completely open source. https://github.com/voat/voat/tree/master

I want to thank this sub for everything.
I want to thank everyone on this sub, because you have been a very huge part of enlightening me with the Truth. I would visit r/conspiracy, r/The_Donald, 4chan, voat.co, Twitter, Gab, you name them. The most strong spirit of love, freedom, enlightenment, and Truth came from people on this sub, such as u/RMFN, polkadotgirl, peyotecayote, Obi Wan person, and many others who have been banned or just disappeared. If any of you are reading this, I want to say thank you.
