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 😢

I use the libredirect extension so that when I end up with a reddit result in searches it redirects. But yeah most of the time it doesn't work now.
