A lightweight alternative frontend for Reddit.

Official instance: eddrit.com

• Lightweight
• No ads
• Compact design (closer to old.reddit.com than to the redesign)
• Better mobile support
• No need to register for an OAuth2 identifier for self-hosting: mimic the official Android app by default to bypass rate-limiting.
• Basic RSS support (for subreddits and posts): fetch the original RSS feed from Reddit, and rewrite the URLs to point to the current eddrit instance.

Inspired by Nitter, an alternative frontend for Twitter.

Written with Python & Starlette.

Usage

You can use the official instance at eddrit.com.

Like Nitter, the URLs are identical to reddit, so if you can just replace reddit.com by eddrit.com to open a Reddit page in eddrit.

Deployment (for self-hosting)

If you wish to setup and configure your instance, please check this documentation.

Local development

Tooling is managed through mise.

A Makefile is provided to quickly run basic tasks (linting, formatting, running the app etc.).
