An open-source Reddit clone written in .NET

For the developer, it seems like a good way to learn more about web development.

Aside from learning or novelty value, I would probably just fork the Reddit repo on Github if I was looking for a clone, as the reddit.com site code is already open-source:

https://github.com/reddit/reddit

Or use the https://lobste.rs/ code:

I checked out lobste.rs and I liked it. Thanks! I also noticed that Lobster github repo currently has 22 contributors. Comparing Lobster to a 1 man project is not fair :p I'll keep working on Whoaverse though, who know what may come out of it :)

I wasn't comparing, leepowers said if he needed a community site he'd probably just spin up a reddit (which has even more contributors, six of which look to be really active).

While lobste.rs has 22 contributors listed, it's mostly just jcs, see the contributor graph: https://github.com/jcs/lobsters/graphs/contributors
