# teddit
[teddit.net](https://teddit.net)
A free and open source alternative Reddit front-end focused on privacy.
Inspired by the [Nitter](https://github.com/zedeus/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](https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/wiki#teddit-api) (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)

## Installation
### Docker
Using [Docker and `docker-compose`](https://github.com/docker/compose):
```console
docker-compose build
docker-compose up
```
Teddit should now be running at <http://localhost:8080>.
### Manual
1. Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org).
1. (Optional) Install [redis-server](https://redis.io).
Highly recommended  it works as a cache for Reddit API calls.

It's needed if you want to support videos.
```console
# Linux
apt install redis-server ffmpeg
# macOS
brew install redis
```
1. Clone and set up the repository.
```console
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>.
