Private front-end for Reddit

Redlib is a private, lightweight front-end for Reddit, forked from Libreddit. Written in Rust, it lets users browse Reddit without ads, JavaScript, or tracking, proxying all requests (including media) through the server. It supports most signed-out Reddit features, is easy to self-host via Docker or binaries, and has public instances listed for quick use.

Why now: It was mentioned in a Hacker News thread about Reddit potentially turning off its JSON endpoints, raising concerns about whether front-ends like Redlib can keep working.

Who it is for: Privacy-conscious Reddit users and self-hosters who want to browse Reddit without being tracked.
