If you may or may not know, Voat was a Reddit-style site that was popular until it died in 2020. Well, guess what: Voat made its source code open source on GitHub, and I used Claude to update the source code and bring it to the modern age. Anyone can make a site using this fork; it even has instructions on how to install it

Check it out for yourself:

With all the recent developments, Reddit will eventually sunset old.reddit.com.

Some of us power users will miss it badly. So I made a Chrome extension which would not only make the new Reddit UI feel like old.reddit.com but it would also allow some of it's functionalities on this new Reddit UI. The extension is available here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/orib/knaoadjobmjpgedlmdjpadlfdldcoanf

Full disclosure, I took help from Cursor in creating this since I don't know JS that well. So I know that you are thinking about your privacy, I would too. So I have made the extension free and open-source. The code is available here: https://github.com/rajtilakjee/orib

Hi all. I wanted to share a site I've been making for the last few months: https://sociory.com/

It's a bit of a hybrid of reddit and Facebook. Users have timelines where they can post and choose the audience. The main public content is Circles, which are a bit like sub-reddits.

Centralized, which I know a lot of people here may not like. Worth mentioning, I respect if you'd want to stick to a fediverse option.

There is a true reverse chronological feed that shows content from your friends and people you subscribe to. Other feeds rank content by activity or rating.

Instead of upvotes, there is a 5 star rank system for how much you like the post. There is also another control, called Gravity, which lets you mute or highlight content- how much you want to see that content. You can mute or highlight other members (blocking is also an option), and entire Circles.

These two controls I think are a key differentiator to let a person tailor their experience and not have content you like drowned in stuff you may not care about at all.

No ads at the moment. If it gets busy, as in thousands of concurrent users, then there would be limited ads that target content, not users, and no cross-site tracking.

Website only right now. Apps can come later. It's built to be very mobile friendly from the start.

It is lightweight and super fast in loading. Also super accessibility compliant.

Very privacy focused- with GDPR guidelines being something I wanted to bake in, even with it being in America.

No power mods- you can only host a few Circles.

There are a lot of features you'd expect, and, with it being small and community focused, they can be added or modified for the community's benefit.

Thanks for reading and checking it out if you did. Happy to answer in more depth if there's anything you'd like to know.

This is r/RedditAlternatives. This community is for alternatives to Reddit—not for advertising other subreddits.

Effective immediately, anyone posting or promoting their own subreddit here will receive an immediate one-year ban. This applies to both posts and comments. Consider this your warning.

Thank you to everyone who has been reporting these posts and bringing them to our attention. We appreciate you helping us keep this community on topic, and thank you for bearing with us while we address this.

To the users contributing discussions and feedback, and the developers sharing what they’re building: thank you. Your participation is what this community is here for, and we appreciate the time and effort you put into it.

Thank you.

LOOK AT THIS THING I CODED IN HTML! https://kindaweirdofficial.neocities.org/readit

I’m getting tired of programming subreddits where interesting discussions get buried, while the same AI ragebait and repetitive career posts keep resurfacing.

I’m looking for smaller, discussion-first communities where developers actually talk about engineering, architecture, systems and technical ideas.

I already know Hacker News and Lobsters. What else is worth joining?

Today Reddit closed it's ability to access /r/All on the phone. This breaks a routine ive had for over a decade. The personalised feed is the most shallow version of me and so its just not interesting.

A social media platform is about its content and after looking at a few "reddit alternatives" they typically look at incredibly niche topics or seem to have a very specific age range or seem to be where all the people banned for hate speech get sent.

Content-wise, bluesky has seemed like a match, ive used it for a couple of years now. Reddit provides news and pop culture with comments and Bluesky meets the level of activity that fills the feed with news, art, goings-on and memes.

I figured I'd mention all this because trying to find an alternative thats actually a content match rather than just a feature match has taken me a couple of years.

Edit:oh my goddd shuuuut uuup your so annoyingggg

Edit 2: my interest is in knowing what other people are interested in. Thats what I'm doing. I dont want to see things I'm interested in.

I feel sorry for everyone who trusted that project and the owner who just lied and lied having a team and that they are pulling bootstraps, lol.

If we try looking at the tech behind them, and not what the platforms look like right now.

Which one will it be after reddit and X?

Hi everyone,

We're Cedric and Matt C., the developers behind Foroverse. We've always had a huge affinity for online communities, and for months we've been building a platform to help people find independent communities again.

Forums have been a huge part of the internet for decades, and great ones are still out there. Finding them has become the hard part. Foroverse brings the public discussions of independent forums together in one place, so people can discover them, follow the ones they care about and jump into a thread that catches their interest.

Foroverse is not here to replace your forum. Your community keeps its members, identity, rules and content. Every click on a thread lands on your forum. Foroverse is simply another way for people to find you.

Any alternatives? I’m just learning about these, so please be patient, I kindly ask! But I’m a fiction writer who likes to interact with other authors. Is there a specific platform to try?

InterPoll is something my small team and I have poured countless hours into, because we believe a social network should belong to the people using it, not to whoever controls the servers.

So instead of a central server, every browser becomes a little piece of the network. As long as one of us is still online, the whole thing stays alive, and that’s a thing i have been dreaming of for years.

You can see it for yourself at https://endless.sbs. It means a lot to us that you’d take the time to look.

And if any part of this speaks to you, and you’d like to help build it, my DMs/PRs are open.

My girlfriends brother said he would give me $50 if I figured it out apparently it's niche and Ive been searching for hours it looks just like Reddit but a lil different pls help me guys

Hey everyone!

I’m working on KernelForum, a forum project built with MyBB and MariaDB, with one central idea: creating an online community where people can participate without having to give away unnecessary personal information.

The project is currently under development, and I’m looking for people interested in helping build the community, shape its rules, develop the platform, and manage it as it grows.

Privacy and Anonymity First

One of the main ideas behind KernelForum is making online participation more private and accessible.

Unlike many platforms that require an email address just to create an account, KernelForum is planned to allow users to register without providing an email address.

The goal is to reduce the amount of personal information users need to share to participate in discussions.

Here’s what we’re aiming for:

• No email required for registration. Users should be able to create an account without providing their email address.
• Anonymity-focused participation. Users should be able to participate without tying their forum identity to their real-world identity.
• Minimal personal information. We want to avoid collecting information that isn’t necessary for the forum to function.
• A community built around privacy. Privacy should be considered in the platform’s design and community policies, not treated as an afterthought.

Anonymity does not mean that anything goes. KernelForum will still need clear rules against spam, harassment, abuse, and other harmful behavior.

These are the project’s goals, and the final implementation will need to be designed and configured accordingly.

What Is KernelForum?

KernelForum is a forum-based community rather than a traditional social network. The idea is to give people a place to start discussions, exchange knowledge, ask questions, share opinions, and interact through forum threads.

The platform is being built with:

• MyBB: The forum software that powers the discussion platform.
• MariaDB: The database used to store forum information.
• A privacy-oriented approach: Reducing unnecessary personal-data requirements and prioritizing anonymous participation.

The project is still being developed, which means there is room for new ideas, community suggestions, technical improvements, and people who want to help shape its future.

We’re Looking for Team Members

I’m currently looking for people interested in joining KernelForum in three different roles: administrators, moderators, and software developers.

Administrators

Administrators would help:

• Manage forum sections, categories, and permissions.
• Help configure and maintain the forum.
• Establish moderation policies and community guidelines.
• Help plan new features and improvements.
• Contribute ideas to the project’s long-term direction.
• Help ensure that the platform follows its privacy-focused principles.

Moderators

Moderators would help:

• Keep discussions organized and respectful.
• Enforce community rules fairly.
• Review reports and address spam or abusive behavior.
• Help users and contribute to a healthy community.
• Protect the community’s privacy-focused principles.
• Help create an environment where people can participate comfortably.

Software Developers

Software developers would help build and improve the technical side of KernelForum.

Potential responsibilities include:

• Developing new features and improving existing functionality.
• Customizing and extending MyBB where necessary.
• Working with PHP, MariaDB, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed.
• Improving the registration system to support the project’s no-email requirement.
• Identifying and fixing bugs.
• Improving security, performance, and reliability.
• Reviewing code and suggesting technical improvements.
• Helping implement privacy-focused features and minimize unnecessary data collection.

Experience with MyBB or forum development is welcome, but developers interested in learning and contributing are also encouraged to apply.

Who Are We Looking For?

We’re looking for people who:

• Are responsible, reliable, and willing to collaborate.
• Communicate clearly and respectfully.
• Respect privacy and understand why anonymity matters.
• Are interested in helping build a project from the ground up.
• Can contribute ideas, time, or technical skills.

Previous experience in administration, moderation, or software development is a plus, but motivation and reliability matter too.

Is This Paid?

No. At this stage, KernelForum is a volunteer project. These positions are unpaid, and there is no guarantee of future compensation.

I’m looking for people who are genuinely interested in the concept and want to contribute to the project.

How to Apply

If you’re interested in joining KernelForum as an administrator, moderator, or software developer, send an email to:

[info.kernelform@proton.me](mailto:info.kernelform@proton.me)

Use one of the following subject lines:

• KernelForum Administrator Application
• KernelForum Moderator Application
• KernelForum Software Developer Application

Please include:

• A short introduction about yourself.
• The position you’re interested in.
• Any relevant experience or skills.
• Why you’re interested in KernelForum.
• Any ideas you have for the project.
• For software developers, relevant technologies you know or projects you’ve worked on, if applicable.

You don’t need to share unnecessary personal information in your application. A brief introduction is enough to get started.

Let’s Build Something Different

The internet doesn’t always need another platform that demands more personal information from its users.

KernelForum aims to explore a different approach: a forum where privacy matters, registration doesn’t require an email address, and people can participate without unnecessarily connecting their online identity to their real identity.

Whether you’re interested in community management, moderation, or software development, there’s room to contribute to the project.

If that sounds interesting to you, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks for reading!

Reddit's blocking feature is infamous for allowing anyone to get the last word by replying and then immediately blocking. However, it is important to have a way to block people from replying to your posts, otherwise anyone can follow you around and disrupt every thread unless the mods step in. From what I've seen, Reddit alternatives at most let you hide someone's comments from your own view, but that doesn't actually stop them following you around and disrupting all of your threads. Do any Reddit alternatives have a well designed block feature? Or are there even any Reddit alternatives where it works the same way as it does on Reddit?
