We have a small dev community in Hawaii, and we deployed our own lobster clone because we wanted a place to share and discuss links/events. We also wanted something we could customize a bit (so that ruled out reddit, also reddit is generally too public for the type of discussion we wanted), so rather than NIH another link-sharing site we started with the lobsters codebase.
What are you trying to create another lobster clone for?
I’d assume they want to use it for something other than tech news.
I, for example, have opened a lobster clone for Russian developers https://develop.re/
that’s a great domain name
