teddit
teddit is no more actively maintained!
Due to Reddit's API changes, this project is no more actively maintained. Feel free to fork the project if you like, or contribute to other alternative Reddit front-ends, such as Libreddit, which are trying to come up with circumventions.
This project is still maintained, but just not actively. You can create PRs, but don't expect them to be merged right away.
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).

Manual
-
Install Node.js.
-
(Optional) Install redis-server.
Highly recommended – it works as a cache for Reddit API calls.
-
(Optional) Install ffmpeg.
It's needed if you want to support videos.
# Linux apt install redis-server ffmpeg # macOS brew install redis -
Clone and set up the repository.
git clone https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit cd teddit npm install --no-optional cp config.js.template config.js # edit the file to suit your environment redis-server npm start
Teddit should now be running at http://localhost:8080.
You can also run teddit from a process manager like pm2:
## To run:
npm install pm2 -g
pm2 start app.js --name teddit
## To run on startup:
pm2 startup
pm2 save ## if using systemd, see below.
## To restart or stop
pm2 restart teddit
pm2 stop teddit
See also the pm2 instructions for running a project on startup. In particular, if using systemd, see the section on how to modify the systemd init file so that it runs after your system connects to the network.
