saidit VS Lemmy

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).

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.

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

One codebase that could probably work is this one: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit but there are others out there.

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.

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

People have even forked reddit already (don't know much about that site) : https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

Lemmy is like Reddit and here because it has threaded comment discussions.

It's also federated, so you can pick a server you like and have discussions with users from various servers together.

Some Reddit apps switched to supporting Lemmy instead when they were kicked off the API.

Seems functionally similar to Lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

There was some talk back in June of migrating or setting up a parallel community on Lemmy. Did anything ever come of that? If not, would anyone be interested in helping set one up?

Because they are all different deployments of Lemmy [0]?

[0] https://join-lemmy.org

Local servers (dietpi, Freedombox, YUNoHost or similar solutions) which can be used to host different solarpunk content and setup instances on the fediverse (like peertube, mastodon, Lemmy etc.)

The entire page is based on Lemmy (https://join-lemmy.org/).

I disabled a ton of features and interface parts, as IMO the original lemmy interface is super noisy.

Runs on bare-metal with docker-compose. For the facelift, just good old CSS :)
