To use

#1: Install Tampermonkey

• See: https://www.tampermonkey.net/
• On Chrome, you'll have to enable "Allow userscripts" in extension settings.

#2: Install userscript

• https://gist.github.com/Littux-Dustux/db7e77cbf0c461d0825e7d4fe2f882d0
  • Click on "Raw".
  • Click here to install the current version.

The userscript provides the privileged browser functions required by the client, including access to Reddit's APIs.

#3: Download script and HTML

• Go to https://github.com/Littux-Dustux/new-reddit-com/releases and download the latest release.zip.
• Extract the ZIP file to a directory of your choice.

#4: Install Python and requests

• Linux: Most distros have it installed. Open a terminal and type python3 --help, then press Enter to check if it is installed.
• Windows: Download Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/
  • During installation, make sure "Add python.exe to PATH" is enabled.
  • Open Command Prompt and run python --help to verify successful install
• macOS: Install Python 3 from https://www.python.org/downloads/ if it is not already installed. Then open Terminal and run python3 --help to verify install

Installing requests:

• Linux/MacOS: python3 -m pip install requests or sudo pacman -S python-requests if arch-based
• Windows: python -m pip install requests

#5: Start the local web server

Open a terminal or command prompt in the directory where you extracted release.zip.

For Linux and macOS, run:

python3 serve.py

On Windows, run:

python serve.py

You should see something similar to:

=> new.reddit.com Server Active
  URL: http://localhost:1264
  Serving from: /home/littux/Projects/js/reddit/new-reddit-com

Keep this terminal open while using the client.

#6: Open the site

Open your browser and go to:

<http://localhost:1264/>

The client should initialize automatically.

You should see messages in the browser console indicating that the userscript has loaded and that the client is initializing.

Troubleshooting

The page is blank

Make sure:

• Tampermonkey is installed and enabled.
• The userscript is installed and enabled.
• The Python server is still running.
• You opened http://localhost:1264/ rather than opening index.html directly.
• Open the browser's developer console (F12) and check for errors.

"Connection refused" or the page doesn't load

The python script is probably not running. Try http://127.0.0.1:1264/ as well.

Notes

• You need to be logged into your Reddit account in the browser for authenticated functionality to work.
• The client communicates with Reddit using your existing Reddit authentication through the installed userscript; you do not need to create an API application.

Found this guy under u/Littux’s post announcing New Reddit‘s successful recovery.

In any other situation I would’ve removed the comment already, but I want to shine light on this idiot in order to put emphasis on why we have Rule 4 (No AI Slop).

Bots and AI generated comments with zero substance like this one are not welcomed.

That is all.

Thanks… for slopping by…
