Wait, I just realized after 15 minutes browsing this website that I'm not using VPN. Reddit is blocked in my country, so Teddit will be the replacement for me. I like browsing Reddit without an account, just to read something. But I don't want to install their super big mobile app (1GB+), and I hate their lagging and weird website on mobile.

#102No cruft, no cdn domains and no javascript . I gave up on reddit a couple years back, but this might make me rethink. With so many things turning to mud, this is a good thing. What I cannot figure out is how they do the [-] show/hide stuff without javascript? Even hacker news - which is relatively lightweight - uses javascript for that. EDIT: ...and I'm back. It's like eating a box of candy for dinner - sugar rush an…
>and no javascript. Here is the source code: https://github.com/teddit-net/teddit . Maybe I am mistaken, but there seems to be a lot of JavaScript running this website.

Not sure if you're on iOS, but Apollo is a very well built third-party Reddit client. It's about 70MB to install, and lets you clear the data cache if you're concerned about storage. You can also browse without an account.
I wish I could get Safari reddit links to open in Apollo without having to copy the URL. First it's "continue in browser" to dismiss the overlay that shows up each time trying to get me to use the app, then it's "read the rest of the discussion" to go from amp trash to the actual reddit site, and now they only load like 4 comments at a time and you need to click a link to load another page each time you want to see t…

That's using their modern extension model, so you could compile it onto your device yourself for testing. The WWDC talk is here: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10665/
It might be possible to ask Apollo to include this, by providing something like the above comments as a feature request. I'm not sure what Apple would think during app review, and Apollo might not be willing to risk it.

#105Dark mode, no ads, similar to old.Reddit.com layout. That’s all I need and this is good. Hope it’s not in some violation of Reddit and gets taken down.

You might consider https://member.cash User accounts are based on private keys, so are self-sovereign. Posts and interactions are recorded on the blockchain, so removal becomes impossible.
I don't get it. The website operator could remove or moderate posts. He could be forced to, and the whole website could simply be taken offline.
Even if all the mirrors become corrupted or taken down, there is a desktop version to access the platform ( https://member.cash/p/7ec2547d6e )
It is truly a public platform and very censorship resistant.

#107Curious if this works more like a live proxy or more like a mirror.

#109reddit has become overrun by their moderators and staff. reddit went from open discourse to pushing reddit staff agendas, not to mention the erasing of Aaron Schwartz. The overall state of the site is just sad. I'm eager to see what replaces it next.
