People seem to hate Reddit this week. Most large subreddits will close for a couple of days next week

Yes, reddit did badly play with API prices.
Nice find -
Lemmy is a bit meh in my opinion.
https://kbin.social/ is a scrappy beta, but seems quite nice.

I always hated the culture on reddit, but having something fediverse related like reddit would be AfuckingMAZING

I had a look at the source and setup is complex. I doubt that a package to deploy KBin as an App to Cloudron will be available quickly. This is only posisible with dedicated working on a package. For me it is too complex right now.
If you want to support KBin with an Instance I think it is way easier to just install it on a fresh server instead of using Cloudron.

I've started playing with it also, as I've found Lemmy to be a bit meh as well. It definitely couldn't be a CR package right now, but maybe someday (lots of moving parts, the stock compose file has like 6 containers flying). I suspect it could be brought down to three, maybe even two if we landed a MQTT Cloudron Addon.

This looks a bit saner https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/143

MQTT: The Standard for IoT Messaging
MQTT is an OASIS standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport that is ideal for connecting remote devices with a small code footprint and minimal network bandwidth. MQTT today is used in a wide variety of industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, telecommunications, oil and gas, etc.The MQTT project is yet another dreadful example of non-disclosure. MQTT is a binary-blob name. Freedom 1 states that we need to have things available and human readable. Not only does the project fail to state what MQTT means on its home page, it even neglects to do so in its FAQ and, believe it or not, in its terms and acronyms section. These people are meant to be running a communications protocol standard!

Talk.lol is similar to Reddit and has an active community:
I am not sure, but I think it uses the code here:
https://github.com/voat/voatBut I think the strongest way forward would be to help with the coding of Plebbit, if you have the skills. Plebbit is Free Software designed to provide the same experience as Reddit but without the centralization / censorship. It is a distributed platform. The maintainer is Esteban Abaroa.
The project uses cool IPFS (Inter Planetary File System) and ENS (Ethereum Name System) technology, if you are interested in that. There is a token too, Plebbit. One thing you might encounter early on is Plebbit's use of CAPTCHAs. These are chosen by the Sub's moderator and help protect the system from vandalism. The chat on the Telegram is mostly from people interested in the token. If you try posting, check that the node/Sub/community is online by seeing if the light is green or red. Probably best to stick with /p/test sub/ or /p/pol/ if you just want to try. There is a client you can try and download too.
