There's an archive of an old version of Reddit's code available on Github, so theoretically you can fork it, just not the latest version.
And nobody used that as a Reddit alternative, due to missing the federation aspect.
What I should have said above is: you can fork Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, use that fork on an instance and connect to the Fediverse. That's the major difference with Reddit or Facebook.
I mean, you can just add the federation aspect. It's opensource, the code is at your fingertips to change as you please.
Do you honestly not see the difference between these two? Deleting a couple lines of code or a file is just not the same as adding a feature to a codebase.
