teddit VS libreddit

Someone should just convert the Teddit UI into a Lemmy theme.

Why scrapy if you have teddit? These kinds of projects are the best tbh

Not really everyone's cup of tea but as an interesting aside... I've recently become quite enamoured with the various "alternative frontends" that are floating around, like invidious for youtube or teddit for reddit. These are not just about blocking ads, (although they do that), they also make these platforms less hostile to your mental health.

Teddit is the equivalent of Invidious but just like Invidious you can't log in, it would beat the purpose if you could. Most of that TOS would still apply if you are logged trough an app or front end. tracking you can minimize by opting out and using with uBlock Origin.

The archiving began in earnest when I started limiting my time exlusively to the FTF. Before that I focused more on archiving fanart, fanfiction and mods for a later use I still want to get to at some point. My archives of FTF threads are HTML files downloaded though the teddit frontend(https://github.com/teddit-net/teddit). Though my archive is much bigger than that. To fill in the backlog of posts from before I started archiving manually I used a Python script to scrape the reddit pushshift archive https://github.com/pushshift/api in order to make sure that I grabbed every comment said in any thread created by JustMonika as well her post text though this backlog data is not easily browsable in its current form, its a whole lot of JSON.

Before writing something from scratch, look at a load of open source projects that do parts of what you need, like: https://github.com/teddit-net/teddit. But there are loads more to research.

Teddit.net[0] solves a lot of these problems and paired with Redirector[1], it's a transparent switch out.

Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe

Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]

Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.

Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]

Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:

The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk

ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community

A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere

The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

This is a particular teddit instance shutting down, not teddit the software project.

Stuff is moving a lot currently and there is a bumpy road ahead, but there are several courses of action already being mapped out (scraping html, r-e the private gql api, a setting for operators to put some auth token, ..).

Sadly the quick refresh is no longer working for me, and going through all of the instances on Libredirect, they all seem to be constantly down now.

It appears that they are trying to deal with this issue here:

Yes, the official Reddit app uses a different endpoint for authentication. There has been great progress in reverse-engineering the private API: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/818

There's a fork of Libreddit that uses the API key leaked from the official Reddit app: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/pull/819
