Teddit - alternative Reddit front-end focused on privacy
-
Teddit is a Free frontend for interacting with Reddit. It is great if you wish to cut down on the tracking.
Very good to see Cloudron staff suggesting this. I hope a lot of people support this proposal.
(Similar frontends are available for Youtube (invidio.us) and Twitter (nitter.net) which I hope are made available too.

Now - as 3rd party apps are closing down and Redditâs site and app are shit - would be a perfect time to have thisâŚ

Calling @Kubernetes - shouldn't that be right up your alley?

Okay, I learned how to integrate with redis with this package.
My first package version in gitlab is already running in my Cloudron instance
It still writes some cache data to the read-only filesystem. I have to find out how to change the cache directory.
-
@girish Yes, exactly. I am trying at the moment to copy the app from /app/code to /app/data to see, if it works overthere
@Kubernetes you should symlink it into /run instead. Something like this in Dockerfile:
RUN mv /app/code/static /app/code/static.original && ln -s /run/static /app/code/staticThen in start.sh:
mkdir -p /run/static rsync -avz /app/code/static.original/* /run/static -
@girish it works now in /app/data , app is running on my cloudron instance and I think this is a good base now
-
@Kubernetes ah, awesome. Just move it to /run though. Anything in /app/data is backed up and this is just runtime/cache data (from what I can make out).
@girish I moved it to /run and it works fine now. thanks for the hint. It need some time to get used to all those patterns
btw: repo is updated

Teddit does not use the API.

From: teddit.net
A free and open source alternative Reddit front-end focused on privacy.
Inspired by the Nitter project.- No JavaScript or ads
- All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Reddit
- Prevents Reddit from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
- Unofficial API (RSS & JSON support, no rate limits or Reddit account required)
- Lightweight (teddit frontpage: ~30 HTTP requests with ~270 KB of data downloaded vs. Reddit frontpage: ~190 requests with ~24 MB)
- Self-hostable. Anyone can setup an instance. An instance can either use Reddit's API with or without OAuth (so Reddit API key is not necessarily needed).

Makes one wonder why all the API pricing fuss.
Still, I'd prefer a self-hosted reddit over this, but both are useful apps. Same for nitter and bibliogram, etc.

@robi well, itâs more a âviewerâ for reddit. You canât login or post or upvote but you can subscribe and save articles outside your reddit account. Thatâs why this was not an option for Apollo and the like.
I think for many thatâs exactly the level of âinteractionâ you wanna have with reddit after the shit they pulled in the last weeks⌠Use it as a knowledge base but donât add value to it. -
Nice, thanks!
I was just reading more about this and see now this is an reddit frontend. This is not like a selfhosted reddit . What is the future for such frontend apps given the reddit API pricing changes?

I think you already know Plebbit, which is a Free Software, distributed, self-hosted alternative to Reddit:
Privacy Redirect is a browser extension which greatly improves life by sending you to privacy-friendly instances for e.g. Reddit, Youtube, etc.

This is a good point. I think most users, maybe 90% on Reddit, lurk. All they need is something like Teddit. Reddit has become yet another anti-social corporation.
