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 😢

Believe this is related: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib/issues/598

It does to me seem the maintance of redlib has stagmated quite a bit lately. A lot of random forks woth supposed fixes etc. Afaik right now redlib is at least not able to read comments on posts, but can still view just the posts in feeds.

If you absolutely want to use reddit the look into using Morphe patches on the reddit app instead.
