Best open-source Reddit alternatives you should know about

Voat is a news aggregator and social networking service where registered community members can submit content such as text posts and direct links. Registered users can then vote for these submissions. After accumulating 100 of these "upvotes" on original comments posted, users can begin voting against submissions and comments. Voting is commonly called "voating" by users. Content entries are organized by areas of interest called "subverses."

Just like Reddit, Raddle (formerly Raddit) is a web-based forum where users submit links, pictures, posts, etc., and interact via threaded comments. Built using the Symfony framework, Raddit has a system of upvotes that acts as a big ranking factor. To sign up, you don’t need to provide any email. If you don’t provide the email, your IP address is stored for 7 days.

Steemit is a blogging and social networking website on top of the Steem blockchain database. The Steem blockchain produces Steem and Steem Dollars which are tradeable tokens users obtain for posting, discovering, and commenting on interesting content.

Voten is a Reddit-like community-based website developed by a small team of developers risen from the world of open-source. "We believe in an open and modern Internet." Voten's mission is to give people the power to share their content with not just their friends but the world and interact in real-time.

Demcra is a non-profit community-driven website for link sharing and discussion. The board of directors is elected by the users, allowing the organization to remain dedicated to the users.

Telescope Nova is a free, open-source app platform built with React and powered by Meteor on the back-end. Nova provides simple building blocks such as posts, comments, forms, and modals, and makes it easy to quickly customize them to build modern, social web apps like Hacker News, Reddit or Product Hunt.

Just like Telescope, Kliqqi lets you start and host your own online social community similar to Facebook, Reddit or X. Kliqqi.com itself is a social network that allows befriending other Kliqqi users, sending and receiving private messages, public forums, and your very own profile feed.
