I'm going to be self-serving and mention https://qbix.com/blog/2021/01/15/open-source-communities/ https://qbix.com/blog/2021/01/15/open-source-communities/ Using the Qbix platform you can assemble your own reddit, and then invite people to it, in a matter of hours. It's free and open source, and runs on PHP. Any commodity host that runs Wordpress should be able to run it, but if you want you can use Node.js It also integrates with Discourse, if you want to have a robust forum software that is also actively developed by a sister team. PS: If you do play around and install it, you should apply to https://qbix.com/ecosystem https://qbix.com/ecosystem so you can be a host. Qbix is going to eventually join the fediverse but right now it's more about being a viable decentralized replacement for Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.
