      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 Reddit’s site and app are shit - would be a perfect time to have this…

                  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/static
                          

                          Then in start.sh:

                          mkdir -p /run/static
                          rsync -avz /app/code/static.original/* /run/static

                            @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 🙂

                                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?

                                  Teddit does not use the API.

                                  Main repository at Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit

                                  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, it‘s more a “viewer” for reddit. You can’t login or post or upvote but you can subscribe and save articles outside your reddit account. That’s why this was not an option for Apollo and the like.
                                      I think for many that’s exactly the level of “interaction” you wanna have with reddit after the shit they pulled in the last weeks… Use it as a knowledge base but don’t add value to it.

                                          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.
