    True. Comments saying “build your own application” were more popular than comments suggesting Lemmy.

    Even if you wanted to “build your own Reddit” you’d be better off starting with Lemmy source code anyway.

    Also possible that Reddit buries the Lemmy posts. You can’t see the up/downvote counts. After all.

      About once a week there’s a post saying “Hi, I built a new reddit alternative!” there

      And it’s usually just utter rubbish. Like yes, it works but it’s barebones and basics. What is it they are expecting?

        Even if you don’t want to participate in the Lemmy, just steal the source code and rebrand it and use that as a starting point.

        That’s basically what Truth Social did with Mastadon.
