Unlike old reddit, this site requires JS to function.

I'm waiting for something minimal like tildes or hn to show up. These new competitors are too bloated.

Honestly a self-hostable HN clone, so no rings/communities/subreddits or anything, I think could be kind of cool. 1 community per server, so they stay naturally pretty small. If you find a post out in the wild, the domain name tells you exactly what the general topic is.

You could use activity pub to handle a “personal front page” that includes stuff from other instances per user.

Maybe a bit naieve but that’s basically what I’d want at this point. Maybe I just want ye olde hyper-focused forums?

Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started
