• go-littr

  Discontinued Link aggregator inspired by (old)reddit using ActivityPub federation. (mirror repository) [Moved to: https://github.com/mariusor/brutalinks]

If you're interested in another option to lotide, I'm working on a very similar project to it, called brutalinks. You can check it out an example instance at https://brutalinks.tech. The code is on github and sourcehut.

• Reddit

  421 15,552 0.0 Python

I guess using reddit's own repo from c. 2017 isn't an option because a non-trivial percent of that codebase is from 2005?

• ForumMagnum

  96 529 10.0 TypeScript

  The development repository for LessWrong2 and the EA Forum, based on Vulcan JS

  

The code is here fwiw: https://github.com/ForumMagnum/ForumMagnum . Funny piece of history:

• Lobsters

  264 3,932 9.5 Ruby

  Computing-focused community centered around link aggregation and discussion

  

There's also the very Hackernews-like lobste.rs that apparently has a Rails codebase. I think LessWrong was considering Lobsters as one possibility for implementing LW 2.0 before going with a custom approach.

• Lemmy

• Pushshift API

  Pushshift API (by pushshift)

Thank you! I can get the ball rolling again, but unfortunately I don't have the code to do a backfill -- just a cronjob that grabs recent comments. This means several months would be missing. I may work on filling the backlog too (iirc I used https://github.com/pushshift/api originally (years ago)), but I'm unlikely to start that for at least 2 weeks.

• DFeed

  16 374 5.8 D

  D news aggregator, newsgroup client, web newsreader and IRC bot

What I would really, really like in any forum software is an NNTP bridge. Ideally bidirectional, but at least readable via NNTP. So far, the only one I've seen is https://forum.dlang.org/ with actual code at https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed .

• nix

  372 10,879 10.0 C++

  Nix, the purely functional package manager

  

Containers feel really inelegant. Just shoving the mess into a box. It'd be nice if NixOS caught on.
