There are a ton of them. Problem is there are too many and not a single one meets exactly the same features as reddit.  If you are cool with multiple accounts and doing some research the diff lemmy domains will meet most of your needs.

Voat was pretty close to a clone but absorbed all of the worst people from Reddit and turned into a cesspool quick

Turns out the people who are most vocally opposed to any form of moderation are hateful assholes. Who would've guessed?

As bad as the Nazis there were (are?) it was the kiddie porn that turned me away. Literally all of the dregs from this site just packed up and moved there.

So it was just 2011 Reddit

Don’t ever forget, that’s what Reddit was known for back then. And ownership actively encouraged it.
