Reddit to Teddit/Libreddit Redirect Userscripts
Reddit to Teddit/Libreddit Redirect Userscripts
I have been trying to avoid Reddit. However, I still often end up being forced to click on a link to a post while searching for something specific. It is a hassle to manually change the link to libreddit or teddit everytime.
For my own purposes, I wrote a userscript to redirect any Reddit link automatically to Libreddit. Since, I thought I should post it here since someone could find it useful, and many of you prefer using Teddit, I also made a Teddit version. You should install only one.

You will need a userscript manager addon like Violentmonkey installed in your browser to make use of these scripts.
Disclaimer: These are my first ever userscripts.

Using the extension, but Both site seems to throw a 500 error
@LemmyStartNow I loaded violentmonkey edge addon and copy pasted the script in the add (teddit version) and it works. There is a bit a delay as it redirects. But I'll take the delay over using "dead"it. now just to figure how to automate it from ios safari....
Side note: I added UserScipt extension on Safari on my Mac and IOS and copied the script in on it's editer and it works there too. iOS does have a slight delay at the moment before it goes landing on what looks like a Reddit error page. I'm thinking it's where it is attempting to hit the script as it first loads to promote their app. Still works so woot!
I am glad it works. Teddit and Libreddit devs seem to be working on switching from API to web scraping. I hope they are successful. Otherwise, old reddit is the only choice.
@LollerCorleone I hope so too. I don't wanna lose the wealth of knowledge and tips but I also don't want to give Reddit themselves the time of day.
Yep! Btw, I have updated the script and added randomized instances than relying on a single one. Do let me know if you face any issues. At least till teddit and libreddit works.
@LollerCorleone will do thanks! Updated them in my browsers. Will let you know.
Thank you for keeping me in the loop and for the suggested solution. Much appreciated!
@LemmyStartNow
Used it multiple times in laptop and iPhone and it works great. Thank!
@LollerCorleone:-)
Are you using Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey? Also, do the sites load for you normally? https://teddit.net/ https://libreddit.privacy.com.de/
