Libreddit

An alternative private front-end to Reddit

Libre + Reddit = Libreddit

• 🚀 Fast: written in Rust for blazing fast speeds and safety
• ☁️ Light: no javascript, no ads, no tracking
• 🕵 Private: all most requests are proxied through the server (images are still loaded from Reddit)
• 🔒 Safe: does not rely on Reddit's closed APIs
• 📱 Responsive: works great on mobile!

Think Invidious but for Reddit. Watch your cat videos without being watched.
