Can reddit sue saidit for using the same design?

submitted by PencilPusher55 from self.AskSaidIt

Or is reddit just the one to become most popular out of a basic template? I mean it almost stuns me how this is basically reddit but with a better community.

Maybe not sue but are there any repercussions for using a 1 to 1 website design?

No, we're using their open source from 2015 and have followed all the appropriate requirements to use it.

It'd be a different thing if we were still trying to use the name 'reddit' or the snoo logo, but we're careful not to do that.

Can you add a sort of cross posting ability? One of the few things I miss from reddit

This is one thing I've wanted to develop from the start, but it's hard. I'd love it if one post could be posted to like 10 subs, appear only once in the feed, and have a singular shared comment section. That'd be great, but it's like a 30 hour project at least. But if someone made it work with our code we would certainly integrate it in to the codebase!

Was just about to say this. You forked the code from when it was open source.
