  2. Hacker News is a social news website focusing on computer science and entrepreneurship. It is run by Paul Graham's investment fund and startup incubator, Y Combinator.
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    I would love to see Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/) expand and improve. I wasn't around for Reddit's beginnings, but I think it probably looked a lot like HN.

    A non-profit community site driven by its users' interests
    Tildes.net was built by the creator of Automoderator and is pretty neat. They don't have an app yet but the site is reminiscent of old reddit, and if users flock to it it's a matter of time.

  4. The Definitive Reddit Add-on
    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    Reddit Enhancement Suite still works fine for old Reddit AFAIK. Can't vouch for all features, but that link was a macro and I use the comment navigator all the time. Been using RES so long, I really can't tell what's RES and what's stock. Isn't tagging users and tracking how many times you upvote/downvote accounts part of RES? Pretty sure it's working.

    Federated link aggregator and Reddit alternative built with Rust
    Just so we're clear, I meant lemmy.ml as the main instance. But I just opened joinlemmy and for some reason its not currently listed there. Probably because they were not expecting so many new signups. If you cant join with lemmy.ml then beehaw is a good choice too.

    Digg delivers the most interesting and talked-about stories on the Web right now.
    Same here... it's the only digestible way to view the site via mobile imo. Horrible move on Reddit's part. This feels like the site's digg moment, how ironic as that's what sent many of us here in the first place.
