Same. I'm actually attempting to make my own, but in similar motivation from your comment, i'm trying to make mine reduce engagement. I want something that explores the positives of social/link-aggs/etc, but doesn't try to keep engagement high.

Something that lets you check it once a day and not feel like you missed anything. etcetc

I think there were good things about Reddit but it is scary how deeply Reddit (and frankly, HN) have driven muscle memory and addictive doomscroll behavior. I'd love to see more people explore features which attempt to extract user value from these platforms but minimize addictive features.

Difficult, but a fun area to explore.
