teddit

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
  • Lightweight (teddit frontpage: ~30 HTTP requests with ~270 KB of data downloaded vs. Reddit frontpage: ~190 requests with ~24 MB)

Installation

Docker

Using docker-compose:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

Manual

  1. Install node.js
  2. It's highly recommended that you install redis-server because it works as a cache for Reddit API calls. If you want to support videos, install ffmpeg
    For example:
    # apt install redis-server ffmpeg
  3. $ git clone https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit
  4. $ cd teddit
  5. $ npm install --no-optional
  6. Copy config.js.template to config.js and then edit it to suit your environment.
  7. $ npm start

Teddit should be now running.
