You're also welcome to use the Lobsters code: https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters
I would recommend using something more modern like Flarum though: https://flarum.org
It's the software that runs https://lobste.rs/ - a smaller community, similar to HN.
The Lobste.rs source is also open source: https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters
