# 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.
