If you're interested in a federated Reddit clone, check out Lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

I'm very familiar with Lemmy, I had contributed to it a bit in it's early development.

I like it, but in particular I think some UX design that apply to reddit and any other centralized link aggregator don't make sense in a federated system, multi communities on one server are fine but the way they're implemented in Lemmy is too Reddit like to be fully useful in a federated network.
