No PPA is provided yet, though the developers are looking into it. Reditr is a free application available to download for Ubuntu-based distributions (as well as Mac, Windows and Chrome) A quick play around with the Preferences section will help you tailor it just the way you want.įor a quick orientation watch this video, made by the Reditr developers: Reditr is as customisable as it is featured.
You won’t find a launcher quicklist or native notification bubbles or Messaging Menu integration Sadly Reditr lacks any direct Ubuntu integration.
Everything can be viewed ‘in-app’.įrom the main view you can hover over images to get a pop-up preview:Ĭlicking on a post opens it up fully, allowing you to browse comments, see linked media in better detail, and up or down-vote straight from the app.įor browsing image-heavy sub-reddits there’s a dedicated Gallery feature: One of the strongest ‘features’ of the application is that, unlike the website it’s based on, you never have to leave the app to view a link, picture or video. Good because Reddit users will find virtually any/every features of the website in the app (and then some), but bad because it’s not an instantly accessible to ‘non-Reddit’ users as it could’ve been. The phrase ‘everything and the kitchen sink’ comes to mind when using it. This is both good and bad. Want to view ‘all the Reddits’? No sweat, it can do that too. Only want to follow 2 or 3 sub-Reddits? You can. The application, a sort of ‘TweetDeck for Reddit’, allows Reddit fans to browse content from the popular social sharing site via a manageable, multi-column style layout.Īlthough the main window can look overwhelming at first all columns can be edited, or removed, and others can be added. Desktop Reddit app ‘Reditr’ has been packaged up for Ubuntu and made available for download.
