I think using a 'lib' prefix to mean 'libre' is potentially misleading when 'lib' is normally used to denote that the project is a library.
But in this case, we get "Libre"ddit, right in the name. The wordplay is irresistible!
Wasn't aware it's written in rust though. Shame on me for not reading the code I guess. It speaks for the ease of setup though. Just put a docker behind caddy and forget about it, pretty much. :D
Edit: I should note that I also set up bibliogram the same night but never started using it because facebook blocks instances pretty quickly. Mine wasn't even being used by anyone else. Fuck facebook, really. instagram is pretty much useless for me anyhow, just contentwise, but I am very concerned that twitter and reddit will go down a similar road.
Reddit is horrible to use on mobile devices as well. They're trying to force you to download the app, but I'm not interested to download an app to browse a website. I already have a browser.
Best advice I heard regarding reddit: disable old redirect and embrace the new redesign. Outcome - my reddit browsing has become minimal, focused and no longer enjoyable for procrastination.

i.reddit.com still exists as a really dumb mobile version. I use it when my feed reader takes me to reddit sometimes.
Also, I don't quite understand why the requests have to be proxied through a server. Wouldn't implementing this in javascript to send requests directly client-side to reddit's apis be faster and more private? It's fast because it's rust is a dumb argument when you are adding an additional network hop to the latency which can't possibly be compensated for by the choice of the stack.
