I have no idea why it’s taken me so long, but I’ve “discovered” #Redlib as a way to view #Reddit  without all of the cruft. #selfhosted of course. www.macklin.co/redlib-reddit/

You can use Redlib to create an #RSS feed, which you can process in #Huginn to create a new version of the feed that includes the comments as well as the original post. Just right for using in your favourite rss news reader. www.macklin.co/redlib-via-huginn/

#selfhosted

threaded - newest

Oh this could be interesting… Reading #Reddit in #friendica

aha, i have recently created lurker a similar selfhostable, reddit frontend. after a quick glance at redlib, the only different feature is the ability to use subscriptions and have the same “frontpage” experience of reddit with all your subscriptions.

Any plans for a docker container?

oppili@leminal.space on 08 Dec 19:59 collapse

containers are available through ghcr now!

Thanks for the update!

Could you please provide complete example of how to use it in nixos. I thought input.lurker.url line was in flake.nix but it gave error

oppili@leminal.space on 08 Dec 20:01 collapse

ah, you can see an example in my nixos config:

git.peppe.rs/config/nixos/tree/flake.nix

(it used to be called readit at one point)

FYI hashtags look odd on lemmy

Linecutter@lemmy.world on 30 Nov 23:30 collapse

#really! 🫢 Combination of force of habit & search optimisation. I agree though, they do look odd

Been using it recently after switching from Libreddit.

Pro tip: you can use the LibRedirect extension for Firefox to point to the IP address that you self-host, and it’s very seamless.

I actually use if to feed into Huginn, which means that it never leaves my local network. For the odd occasions that i want to add to the conversation i don’t think that i have an alternative but to log into reddit (then log straight off after that). So it make sense to bake the right URL into the RSS. I don’t browse reddit at random, but YMMV & an auto redirect to the redlib server is a good thing to have in reserve - I use Firefox, of course

Too bad it keeps getting blocked by reddit

alwayssitting@infosec.pub on 30 Nov 07:06 next collapse

Yeah I gave up on it after last time it was blocked by Reddit.

Yaky@slrpnk.net on 30 Nov 23:48 collapse

Proxies started getting blocked (by some auth-account methods) last year, but libreddit/redlib dev was able to outsmart them multiple times. Now it seems like reddit is blocking IPs (and/or IP ranges). Running redlib from a residential IP still works, but I would not expect it to work from a VPS.

Interesting use case. I made the jump from teddit -> redlib last week after the API adjustments

Linecutter@lemmy.world on 01 Dec 09:37 collapse

I do the same with the activitypub subscriptions, as well as grabbing regular RSS feeds & notifications. I pretty much only need one app to keep up with all of my news - & can “click though” to interact in the real app/website if i have something to contribute

Can you elaborate on the AT subscriptions?

Linecutter@lemmy.world on 05 Dec 07:23 collapse

AT? These might be what you’re looking for www.macklin.co/rss-feeds/ www.macklin.co/huginn-rss-website-image-feed/ You can filter the feed before you generate the output, of course.

Or possibly blog.andrewcantino.com/…/adding-rss-feeds-to-any-…

Linecutter@lemmy.world on 05 Dec 07:27 collapse

I’ve added a couple of bits to the “code” so that there are links to the reddit & redlib sites in case the comments are interesting but pulled into the feed too soon in the conversation. Also the option to use “credentials” as a way to set the server address as a variable.
