• saidit

  21 216 5.3 Python

  The reddit open source fork powering SaidIt

  Older versions of reddit were open-source, like the one that was forked to power https://saidit.net/ . That might be a possible starting point, but I bet there are other projects out there too

• nntpserver.py

  3 45 1.0 Python

  No-dependency, single file NNTP server library for developing modern, rfc3977-compliant (bridge) NNTP servers.

  I wrote a dependency tree python3 library to make your own NNTP servers:

  https://pypi.org/project/nntpserver/0.0.3/

  https://github.com/epilys/nntpserver.py

  It's used in my link aggregator forum, https://sic.pm/ which also has a mailing list bridge functionality.

  As a demo, I have implemented a HN mirror on NNTP: (quoting README.md)

  hnnntp.py querying news.ycombinator.com (hackernews) API and caching results in an sqlite3 database. A public instance might be online at nessuent.xyz:564 (TLS only)
