Do you know of any federated/distributed alternatives to reddit? Although, maybe the argument is we don't actually need a social media platform at all just RSS.

Littr seems to be federated too:
That's about it for federated Reddit alternatives, at least that I can find. And I don't think the federated aspect has caught on yet for either.
Why not just stay with Reddit?
First, you need access to a news server. These folks offer a free public one: https://www.aioe.org/ There are also other paid news servers but I don't want to advertise for them.
You also need an NNTP (Usenet) client. I use "slrn" which is a command line app. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Usenet_newsreaders for some others.
Once you find one, you'll need to point it to the news server of your choice (nntp.aioe.org in this example.)
Good luck discovering Usenet! Most groups are not too active.
Also it's not federated, but I like hubski.com
