Not really. Why? Reddit is opensource but it'd damn hard to setup correctly and start your own instance.

What about other OSS project? It's also not easy to make Linux from scratch. Being OSS doesn't mean it will be single click to run your instance.
And there's a difference between gratuitous (or almost gratuitous) dependencies and must have ones. From what I read in the other comments Neo4J doesn't feel like a must-have for this project.
Plus, to be honest, Mongo, Neo4J, Redis AND Elastic Search? That's got to be overkill :)
