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.

Karma, votes, and diminishing returns
While it would likely have zero overlap with the code in use today if you look at the old code Reddit used to publish for voting the model at that point used to have flags/checks for :

[reddit self-host] Thrift issues?
I've been trying to host my own instance of Reddit from archived source code on GitHub. Even though I am aware that's probably not a good idea since many dependencies are broken and there's practically no documentation on anything (and it's really old legacy code), but I still decided to give it a shot.

Does anyone else just feel sad about all of this?
Shh, don't tell spez, the code is already available on the github https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/

Delv guy here: Sharing the mockup
Automod to act based on keywords/domains/etc., ideally using the same language/flags/regex/etc. of the original automod (old code) so that it's possible to use existing code. (For detecting off-topic posts, enforcing a title format, reminding the users to add missing details to post, filtering profanity, shadowbanning spammers, etc.)

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

Facts: Reddit won't die
One of the ironic things is that people are talking about leaving Reddit due to changes to the API and going to sites that don't have well documented APIs at all. Tildes doesn't have one. It looks like they started to make one four years ago and quit. Lemmy does, apparently, have an API but the documentation is garbage for anyone not using their javascript client library. Also, neither of them offer OAuth, so, if you did want to use a third party client, you'll have to give them your password.

/r/Gadgets will be joining the blackout to protest Reddit's new API policy
They use gitlab, not GitHub.

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest the killing of 3rd Party Apps! All FOSS apps are 3rd Party Apps. Will /r/linux join the strike?
It doesn't look like it, going by the source code. Lemmy is decantralized.
