A Reddit Clone Built on Hotaru CMS

Rate this Entry
The latest theme in the Theme Downloads forum is a clone of Reddit, called Yonda.

What better way to show off Hotaru than with a theme that emulates one of the biggest social bookmarking sites on the net? I must admit I'm very impressed, and happy to see our Up Down Voting plugin getting put to good use!

Although it looks just like Reddit, this theme has been skillfully crafted by hand by Mabujo Web Designs. It turns out that the designer, mabujo, is no stranger to social bookmarking. He's been running a successful football site on Social Web CMS since 2008, and has half a dozen other projects based on Pligg. In his recent blog post "Experimenting with Hotaru", he says:

Hotaru is a new project similar to pligg and swcms, but has been built from the ground up as a modular system with strong code guidelines. It’s just up my street and I have been keeping my eye on the project for the last few months with the hopes of migrating my sites to the platform.
Welcome to Hotaru, mabujo! We hope you like it here.
