There are many reddit clones. The value is completely in the communities and not in the technology.

r/all subs like r/pics are completely replaceable, but something like r/personalfinance is an institution that is not easy to replicate elsewhere.

What are some of those Reddit clones?

Any of them decentralized, so there is no "one ruler" who can close down the thing in the future?

I think Aether comes close: https://aether.app/features/general/

There are reddit-likes on the fediverse (which means they are using the ActivityPub protocol). The fact that a software like kbin works on ActivityPub means that users on other fediverse software like Mastodon (twitter-like) can interact with posts on kbin. Discussion, interaction and discoverability are thus not limited to just the small community on kbin. https://kbin.social/

Here is a discussion by @[e-mail] on reddit alternatives on the fediverse. https://mstdn.social/@feditips/110476830253102884
