    Every so often I think “well every company is shit so why not go back to the communities I love on Reddit”. Then another thing like this surfaces and it reinforces my boycott.

    A lot of people send me Reddit links. Is there any way to load them without actually visiting the site? Like a mirror or archive?

        You can also use LibRedirect addon to redirect Reddit/Twitter/etc automatically to alternative frontends.

        Interesting. Does it rely on the API? It just states “All requests go through the backend” but if this got popular, wouldn’t it eventually hit the same API call limit apps are facing?

          You have also other privately run instances, you can check the list on Github or somewhere else

        Bad move to use reddit in a name for a product that is nearly identical to the other company’s product which has a trademark on the name.
