# 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
* Lightweight (teddit frontpage: ~30 HTTP requests with ~270 KB of data downloaded vs. Reddit frontpage: ~190 requests with ~24 MB)

## Installation

1. Install [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/)\
For example:\
`# curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | bash - && apt-get install -y nodejs`
1. It's highly recommended that you install [redis-server](https://redis.io/) because it works as a cache for Reddit API calls. If you want to support videos, install [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/)\
For example:\
`# apt install redis-server ffmpeg`
1. `$ git clone https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit`
1. `$ cd teddit`
1. `$ npm install --no-optional`
1. Copy `config.js.template` to `config.js` and then edit it to suit your environment.
1. `$ npm start`

Teddit should be now running.
