Ask HN: Why isn't HN libre/FOSS?
Slashdot, reddit, and HN are similar in that the source code was available. For HN, as part of arc under the Artistic license. All 3 abandoned public source code releases.

Rings.social – Reddit-API compatible and Open Source content-voting platform
Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started

Keep the clients, make a new backend?
There are already 1:1 reddit clones based on older versions of their software that was open source: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit

I've been working on a fork of Infinity for Everything
I think your Reddit authentication is broken. You forgot to include the scope parameter when sending the user to Reddit's OAuth2 URL.

2023 API Protest Timeline
On the same day, Huffman claimed reddit 'was never designed to support third-party apps', despite reddit having an API that supported third-party apps since December 2015.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

Bluesky announces data federation for self hosters
Mastodon DMs have absolutely no privacy: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/18079
For a decentralized protocol doing things right is much more important than doing things fast, it is very difficult (and in a lot of cases impossible) to break backwards compatibility.

You Can't Follow Me
Mastodon is free and open-source. Go ahead and add the flag:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING....
Thank you for your write-up, I ran into similar issues a couple of months back.
Another gripe with the technical implementation of mastodon is the CORS headers required to access the ActivityPub API [0].
Because of this issue, an activitypub-aware frontend for mastodon has to have its own mastodon server running, which adds a whole bunch of hurdles.

Youtube ad block on pc (ublock origin)
If you're looking for YouTube alternatives, you might be interested in PeerTube. PeerTube is to YouTube what Mastodon is to Twitter. (Plus PeerTube and Mastodon use the same federation technology. You can follow PeerTube accounts from inside Mastodon and vice versa.)

Recreating Mastodons Audio Player as a Web Component
The goal was also to have it look exactly like the audio-player that mastodon uses.

MathJax – Beautiful and accessible math in all browsers
Mathstodon ( https://mathstodon.xyz/about ) integrates this, forking/extending Mastodon to support inline LaTeX in Mastodon posts and equations, which get rendered by MathJax on the client side. I think that's neat.
- "This is important, since several math-based instances exist (such as https://mathstodon.xyz ,https://types.pl) and produce math-based posts. However, when these posts federate to other instances they cannot be rendered, since other instances do not have MathJAX installed. Thus, a more portable version based on open standards is necessary."
