I have been trying to avoid Reddit. However, I still often end up being forced to click on a link to a post while searching for something specific. It is a hassle to manually change the link to libreddit or teddit everytime.
For my own purposes, I wrote a userscript to redirect any Reddit link automatically to Libreddit. Since, I thought I should post it here since someone could find it useful, and many of you prefer using Teddit, I also made a Teddit version. You should install only one.
Reddit to Libreddit: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469587-reddit-to-libreddit-redirect
Reddit to Teddit: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469588-reddit-to-teddit-redirect
You will need a userscript manager addon like Violentmonkey installed in your browser to make use of these scripts.
Disclaimer: These are my first ever userscripts.
On Android you can use UntrackMe. It’s on F-Droid.
I have updated both the scripts. They will now redirect to a random instance than relying on just one. The script will also a button to the bottom right of the instances which will allow the user to reload the page they are on in a different instance (in case the one which was loaded has some issue).
Just a note. Most libredditbinstancea will be shutting down as well. It’s being modified to allow for you to add your own API key, but many large instances aren’t going to be afford to continue running with the API changes.
Firefox has the Redirector add-on: http://einaregilsson.com/redirector/, I used it to make sure I went to old.reddit.com
Now I’m sad, I just found out the developer passed away in 2022 :(
For Firefox (don’t know if it’s on Chrome/Chromium) there’s also the LibRedirect Addon which can also do YouTube, Tiktok, Imgur, Quora, and a bunch more to help protect your privacy and eyeballs.
