If you’re like me, you want to see how Reddit looks mid-protest but don’t want to give Reddit any web traffic. That’s where Libreddit comes in, see github.
Libreddit is a privacy-respecting frontend for Reddit, so you don’t need to worry about contributing to their traffic.
A list of instances can be found here. If you don’t care about instances, just click here.
Happy protesting.
You are still giving them traffic, just not directly.
Traffic is not useful for them by itself, user metadata is, and this keeps at least some of it away from them.
Usually, yes, but I’m sure they’ll be tracking traffic more than usual during the protest to see actual impact, so any traffic is counterproductive to the protest.
Also, isn’t this using the API? Pretty sure these websites aren’t long for this world.
thanks for this, i edited the post. that slipped my mind entirely.

I was just hoping to hear reports from other people about what was happening on Reddit.
Similarly, if you are looking for different front-ends for other services:
https://farside.link/ has a large selection and I’ve seen librereads (https://librereads.vercel.app/) making the rounds today
Additionally, Libredirect also have a list of instances like farside.link, but with other types of services as well. I didnt do a thorough comparison yet. See https://github.com/libredirect/instances/blob/main/data.json. I think they also regularly update it.
