I have an unlaunched open source reddit alternative. Before I go into that too much though, note that there are a bunch: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/

My vision:

Free to browse, subscription to interact. You choose your subscription amount. I take $1 to run the server, anything beyond that gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month.

For the $1, I give 30% of the cut to any 3rd party app that user is using.

With this model, creators make money, and the site hopefully is self-sufficient without ads.

Right now I have a working website, backend, payments, and payouts. What I don't have is a mobile app. If anyone is interested and wants to partner, my email is in my profile.

Site: https://non.io (feel free to play around with login hackernews, pw: helloworld)

Github: https://github.com/jjcm/nonio

API: https://api.non.io (slightly outdated, I need to do an update pass here)
