This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/AskReddit

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • Lemmy

    🐀 A link aggregator and forum for the fediverse

    Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

  • revanced-manager

    💊 Application to use ReVanced on Android

    Youtube vanced was a 3rd party Youtube app without ads and other fonctionnalities re-added that were moved to premuim only, such as background listening, they haf to take it down due to legal reason, but rrvanced came in place, which this time is not an app you directly download (avoiding copyright issues) But an app that patches other apps, such as youtube, and reddit, you can download it here https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Reddit-Enhancement-Suite

    Reddit Enhancement Suite

    Reddit Enhancement Suite still works fine for old Reddit AFAIK. Can't vouch for all features, but that link was a macro and I use the comment navigator all the time. Been using RES so long, I really can't tell what's RES and what's stock. Isn't tagging users and tracking how many times you upvote/downvote accounts part of RES? Pretty sure it's working.

  • nostr

    a truly censorship-resistant alternative to Twitter that has a chance of working

  • jerboa

    A native android app for Lemmy

    There are multiple apps I think like reddit clients but the one that seems to be maintained is called jebora for lemmy made by the devs of lemmy itself. https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa

  • AntennaPod

    A podcast manager for Android

    I’d recommended AntennaPod as well, if you’re on Android. It’s open source, zero in-app ads (the ones in the actual podcast are still present), and has I think all the features you just listed.

  • old-reddit-redirect

    Ensure Reddit always loads the old design

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Reddit

    It used to be open source. Until they wanted to make more money from it.

  • revanced-patches

    🧩 Patches for ReVanced

  • Lobsters

    Computing-focused community centered around link aggregation and discussion

    If you're into computer science, https://lobste.rs is great

  • Mastodon

    Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community

    Seeing this github thread made me seriously question their producct vision. If they can't figure out why users would want such a basic feature that all social media platforms have, and more importantly don't seek guidance from a product owner they are simply put, bad software engineers.

  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

    Also, look into the PiHole for home browsing.

  • aether

    Aether client app with bundled front-end and P2P back-end

    Aether (https://getaether.net/), but it's not a website. Takes more involvement to get in.

  • nextdns

    NextDNS CLI client (DoH Proxy)

    A DNS server. I use NextDNS.

  • plebbit-react

    A GUI for plebbit

  • kbin

    A reddit-like content aggregator and micro-blogging platform for the fediverse.

    https://kbin.social, https://kbin.pub
