don't we have Reddit's source? Why doesn't someone just clone it?

don't we have Reddit's source? Why doesn't someone just clone it?
- lazycouchpotato 2y agoThere have been multiple attempts to clone it, but the communities there almost always end up toxic or filled with illicit activities. Some (including me) have shifted to Lemmy, a FOSS Fediverse alternative like Mastodon is to X (Twitter). There are many instances of Lemmy to choose from as home. Mine is lemmy.world. I run a few communities there and we have a chill environment there. If you miss the old reddit feel, you can emulate it with old.lemmy.world Some Reddit third-party app devs converted their apps to Lemmy apps after Reddit made those API changes. There's tildes.net which is run by a former Reddit admin, but it's smaller and invite-only.
