What’s out there? I genuinely don’t know of any that would fit the Reddit data model.

There's Lemmy, not perfect but it is designed to be Reddit-ish.

Yeah I don't know either. How hard could it be to build though? I say that half-jokingly...

Is the reddit API complex?

I doubt the API would be complicated, the issue will be in all of the little QoL/scaling features: moderator settings, automoderation bots, hosting photos and videos in a scalable way. I imagine behind the scenes bot/spam detection is an entire engineering team.

Yep, definitely. The API was only a small sample of the actual business logic inside the Reddit site as a whole.

You are talking in past tense. Reddit is not dead, yet. The couple communities I participate in ("top 5%") aren't aware of anything happening

The comments I've seen have included Lemmy (caveat: apparently some concerns about the devs, default instance and policies) or kbin both of which are ActivityPub capable.
