There are rapid changes/features in this fork that can(will) change without notice. If you want to host this version, be aware that it's likely to break at some point. I still wouldn't recommend it in a production environment unless you know what you're doing. Or like living on the edge.......
> I would also like to thank the maintainers and contributors of both [Redlib](https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib) and [Libreddit](https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit) for all the work they did while I just added some low quality tacky features. ❤️

Redlib currently implements most of Reddit's (signed-out) functionalities but still lacks [a few features](https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib/issues).
## The Name
**Red sun** in the sky + Red**lib** = Redsunlib
And at the time, I was reading an excerpt from Mao Zedong, so the name seemed appropriate. But paradoxically named since Reddit is basically the sinophobia capital of the internet :/
