Are there any clones of reddit out there that have a reasonable level of popularity?

Can you build threaded convos on top of the AT Protocol? Subs->Topics, threads, users, tada! Edit: @freetonik much obliged for the reference.

There was a post about that exact idea a few days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43058285

Is Digg.com still around? This is a joke as back in the day reddit was the small fish.

Joking aside, Diggnation has returned and Kevin Rose has said a few times he wants to buy back Digg.com

Seems like there isn’t. But it’s weird, why not?

The audience and the posters are the content, not enough people want to start posting and commenting on a dead reddit clone to get it off the ground to entice more people

From the article it sounds more like they want to introduce paid communities... which is not a bad idea. Many content creators have some sort of paid community, so if Reddit can take some of that market it could out work well for them.

Honestly just sounds like reddit wants to get some of the only fans money, reddit is already filled with only fans girls advertising but they're not getting a actual cut of it.

There’s a mod comment on WSB saying that they were invited to get pay-walled, and refused. It will be interesting to see if Reddit forces them to anyway. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/nyocKWohon

Paywalling /r/wallstreetbets of all things is such a terrible financial decision it's actually fitting.
