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

Inspired by other great alternative front-ends including [Invidious](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious), [Nitter](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter) and [Biliogram](https://github.com/cloudrac3r/bibliogram).

@ -42,9 +66,59 @@ If you are looking to compare, the biggest differences I have noticed are:
|
|||
- Libreddit is written in Rust for speed and memory safety. It uses Actix Web, which was [benchmarked as the fastest web server for single queries](https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#hw=ph&test=db).
|
||||
- Unlike Teddit (at the time of writing this), Libreddit does not require a Reddit API key to host.

### Privacy
|
||||
|
||||
#### Reddit
|
||||
|
||||
According to Reddit's [privacy policy](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/privacy-policy), they "may [automatically] log information" including:
|
||||
- IP address
|
||||
- User-agent string
|
||||
- Browser type
|
||||
- Operating system
|
||||
- Referral URLs
|
||||
- Device information (e.g., device IDs)
|
||||
- Device settings
|
||||
- Pages visited
|
||||
- Links clicked
|
||||
- The requested URL
|
||||
- Search terms
|
||||
|
||||
The same privacy policy goes on to describe location data may be collected through the use of:
|
||||
- GPS (consensual)
|
||||
- Bluetooth (consensual)
|
||||
- Content associated with a location (consensual)
|
||||
- Your IP Address
|
||||
|
||||
Reddit's [cookie notice](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/cookies) documents the array of cookies used by Reddit including/regarding:
|
||||
- Authentication
|
||||
- Functionality
|
||||
- Analytics and Performance
|
||||
- Advertising
|
||||
- Third-Party Cookies
|
||||
- Third-Party Site
|
||||
|
||||
#### Liberddit
|
||||
|
||||
In production (when running the binary, hosting with docker, or using the official instances), Libreddit logs nothing. When debugging (running from source without `--release`), Libreddit logs post IDs fetched to aid troubleshooting but nothing else.
|
||||
|
||||
Both official domains (`libredd.it` and `libreddit.spike.codes`) use Cloudflare. This may violate certain users' threat models and therefore, selfhosting is welcomed.
