Is there an open source old.reddit-alike forum available anywhere? I find Reddit much easier to read and digest than Discourse.

There's also https://github.com/notabugio/notabug a P2P fork of old reddit UI (that used to be open source itself, old version: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit), and there's https://notabug.org/zPlus/freepost, I just found it searching for this stuff, those are the ones I know of.
