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 can…

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

What a poor timing for something like this.

Well, teddit is not new if you mean that. I:ve been using it for a while - only downside is that it's a bit slow.

I personally like the Adminforge instance https://teddit.adminforge.de. It's much quicker than the original teddit.net.

Slightly off the main topic - but this is the first time I've seen codeberg.org (where Teddit is hosted). Looks like a serious competitor to GitHub, curious if anyone has worked with Codeberg and can list its pros and cons compared to GitHub / GitLab.

They have an FAQ: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/

One of the main pros seems to be that they're all-in on Free software.

Reddit is a SPA though right

SPA being a problem was last decade. Headless chromium is pretty standard for scraping nowadays.

How does that work for clients though. Should Apollo ship a headless chromium in their mobile app

Good luck. News is the API fees are going to destroy Apollo.

I believe Teddit uses scraping; I run a Teddit instance for myself and haven't needed to set up an API key.

From a very brief skim it doesn't appear to scrape: https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/src/branch/main/routes/ho...

But I'm not really a web dev so I might be misreading things.

While we're on the topic of privacy focused frontends, anyone have recommendations for similar YouTube frontends?

Piped is one option: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped

Invidious is another[1].

I use Piped with Yattee[2] over Tailscale and it works great.
