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.
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.
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)
Any plans for a docker container?
containers are available through ghcr now!
Thanks for the update!
FYI hashtags look odd on lemmy
#really! 🫢 Combination of force of habit & search optimisation. I agree though, they do look odd
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/
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
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
