> It is a private front-end like Invidious but for Reddit.
- Fast: written in Rust for blazing-fast speeds and memory safety
- Light: no JavaScript, no ads, no tracking, no bloat
-Private: all requests are proxied through the server, including media
-Secure: strong Content Security Policy prevents browser requests to Reddit
of course you cant post, comment, or upvote from it.
No more trying to type "old" over "www" or fight the "you must use the app"
There are also plenty of extensions for almost every browser that redirects reddit, which are easy to fork and update for a custom instance.
I added a custom !r bang that uses kagi to search reddit via a lens with that redirect. Works great
Go to https://kagi.com/settings?p=redirects
Add these rules:
^https://reddit.com|https://old.reddit.com
^https://www.reddit.com|https://old.reddit.com
It also removes most utm trackers and referral codes from urls and pulls tracking urls that put the actual url in the querystring and replaces them and will pre-redirect on most common url shorteners so when you hover on a link you are more likely to see where it's actually going.
I've thought about packaging it up for more general use, but it's one of those things on the todo list.
