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

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.

On my personal Teddit instance, pages load approximately eight times faster than on reddit.com! There are also some nice UX features, such as being able to see the entire nested threads (like here on Hacker News) without expanding them individually.

I've found that the instance hosted by privacytools.io is significantly faster than the official instance.

Did you do anything to speed up Teddit page loads? I self-host too and Teddit is a bit sluggish since it seems to load everything on the page before rendering[1].

I tried Libreddit as an alternative, which is much faster, but I prefer the look/feel of Teddit.

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

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

- 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.

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"
