Too bad it keeps getting blocked by reddit
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.
Yeah I gave up on it after last time it was blocked by Reddit.
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?
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
ah, you can see an example in my nixos config:
https://git.peppe.rs/config/nixos/tree/flake.nix
(it used to be called readit at one point)
FYI hashtags look odd on lemmy
#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
Interesting use case. I made the jump from teddit -> redlib last week after the API adjustments
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?
AT? These might be what you're looking for https://www.macklin.co/rss-feeds/ https://www.macklin.co/huginn-rss-website-image-feed/ You can filter the feed before you generate the output, of course.
Or possibly https://blog.andrewcantino.com/blog/2014/04/13/adding-rss-feeds-to-any-site-with-huginn/
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.
Oh this could be interesting... Reading #Reddit in #friendica
