Libreddit upstream has been quiet for a while now. It was forked to Ferrit: GitHub - YunoHost-Apps/ferrit_ynh: Ferrit Package for YunoHost

libreddits development has shut down (see The future of Libreddit · Issue #871 · libreddit/libreddit · GitHub) and reddit started banning libreddit-instances. However a new initiative (a fork of libreddit) with a different way to access was founded: GitHub - redlib-org/redlib

I just tested redlib, as my libreddit-instance was banned by reddit some weeks ago.

I used it as a drop-in replacement for libreddit on my running instance. I built redlib and replaced libreddit binary with redlib and now it works again.

Should we change libreddit_ynh to use redlib or create a new yunohost-app for redlib?
