What is eddrit?
eddrit is an open-source alternative frontend for Reddit built with Python and Starlette. It offers a clean, ad-free interface modeled after old.reddit.com that works well on mobile devices. The software fetches content from Reddit and rewrites links to stay within the self-hosted instance. It includes RSS feeds for subreddits and posts, and plays videos using dash.js and Video.js. Deployment options include Docker (with a Valkey cache for OAuth tokens) or a direct Python installation. The project is MIT licensed and funded through donations.
