Self-hosting redlib? (lemmy.world)

Hey all,

I use redlib instead of reddit for the info I still need to access on that platform. Recently, and with the API changes, the existing public instances being unreliabile cause of that I was maybe looking to host an instance myself. I don't know if I wanna keep it private or not but in the scenario that I do make it a public instance, how would I manage this? Is it a good idea to host this in my home, cause I have a residential IP. I dont want to get that banned by reddit, so residential proxies? I assume a random VPN would be blocked. Also what about bot protection? Anubis and crowdsec? What specs would be needed for such an instance?

Thank you!

Edit 30/10: well I guess if reddit is going to be requiring logins I'll just go pound sand 😢

If there is something I want to find on reddit I just search the web and read from the webpage, sure I have not tuned my pihole to block all the ads out of it yet but it is so infrequent that I use it now. If I remember correctly reddit is weighed fairly high in my searXNG, I have a residential static IP so a lot of the big engines have blocked my searXNG but as I understand it they will block it even without a static IP. Bing is the big engine than I have and a bunch of little ones you would have to search out to find that get me my results.
