Why YSK: Google returns reddit results very often when searching, which many of us want to avoid clicking, to avoid sending traffic to reddit.
I’ve seen many posts on how to avoid sending traffic to reddit for android users, but nothing for iOS.
Now, most of the options I’ve found are not free, but I had already bought StopTheMadness before. You can simply add a rule to redirect reddit.com to teddit.net. Then, you can still click those google results without hesitation.
It should be noted this won’t work system wide in safari web view, only in the safari app.

Oh that’s a good idea, too. Are you talking about the app?
I have a similar app called AdBlock, but it only allows to redirect based on IP address, which didn’t seem to work well when I tried.
Does the one you’re using allow you to type in the url (ex: teddit.net) instead of the IP address?

Do you know if PiHole can do something similar?

Thanks, will take a look.
I’m not aware, how would you do that for android?
Not sure about android specifically but for Firefox desktop, Privacy redirect is useful: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/privacy-redirect/
According to the App Store page, no data is collected by the developer. It all runs on your device only I would assume.
That’s also what I was looking to buy before I realised I already had something which worked.
privacy redirect on chrome based browsers lets you do the same for a number of different services too. Really nice to help enforce staying away from our big tech overlords.
Unfortunately chrome on iOS doesn’t have that function, but it’s good news for other users.
Libredirect does a similar thing on Firefox desktop. I use it to redirect all Reddit links to my locally hosted libreddit and YouTube redirects to random invidious instances so that it’s different every time.
