I’ve used teddit but prefer libreddit https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit

> It is a private front-end like Invidious but for Reddit.

- Fast: written in Rust for blazing-fast speeds and memory safety

- Light: no JavaScript, no ads, no tracking, no bloat

-Private: all requests are proxied through the server, including media

-Secure: strong Content Security Policy prevents browser requests to Reddit

of course you cant post, comment, or upvote from it.




>Libreddit is themed around Reddit's redesign whereas Teddit appears to stick much closer to Reddit's old design. This may suit some users better as design is always subjective.


I really like libreddit. It was very easy for me to set up and host my own instance behind a VPN. I registered a very simple .com domain of repeating letters so I can quickly just double-tap the word "reddit" on my phone's address bar and replace the word "reddit" with my libreddit's domain name and tap "go".

No more trying to type "old" over "www" or fight the "you must use the app"


Anyone who uses Kagi can add a rule to automatically redirect to their teddit instance or old.reddit [1].

There are also plenty of extensions for almost every browser that redirects reddit, which are easy to fork and update for a custom instance.

I added a custom !r bang that uses kagi to search reddit via a lens with that redirect. Works great

For users interested in this:

Go to https://kagi.com/settings?p=redirects

Add these rules:

    ^https://reddit.com|https://old.reddit.com  
    ^https://www.reddit.com|https://old.reddit.com 
Theoretically you should be able to turn it into one rule, but this worked for me, so I stopped ;)


I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/redirector/ for nitter, teddit and invidious.


The problem with redirectors is that it first has to go to the site you want to avoid and then it gets redirected. I always wanted something that would re-write pages as they are displayed and I couldn't find anything so I wrote my own greasemonkey script that gives me all of my searxng/teddit/piped/rimgo/wikiless/quetre/libremdb/proxitok/neuters/scribe/.

It also removes most utm trackers and referral codes from urls and pulls tracking urls that put the actual url in the querystring and replaces them and will pre-redirect on most common url shorteners so when you hover on a link you are more likely to see where it's actually going.

I've thought about packaging it up for more general use, but it's one of those things on the todo list.


May I see it?


It's pretty rough, but it should work out of the box from this https://gist.github.com/bradmurray/61c824c0c3d5eb5e30b7bdfda...


There's also troddit.com, which has logins.
