The first release of Sheddit. It hides Reddit's most repetitive posting habits, one trope at a time.

  • 17 filters for phrases and habits like "genuinely curious", "witaf", "not a good look", "Class action lawsuit, anyone?", all-lowercase writing, ALL CAPS titles, walls of text, and posts that are just a YouTube link. Every filter checks posts and comments.
  • Remove or cover. Matches either disappear, or fold into a slim gold bar naming the filter that caught them. Peek reveals one, and Hide again folds it back. A caught thread's own post always stays under the bar, so you never land on an empty page.
  • Toolbar popup showing what Sheddit caught on the current tab, by filter, plus your totals for the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. The history stays in your browser.
  • Settings to turn each filter on or off, or all of them at once.
  • Works on www.reddit.com, old.reddit.com and Reddit's phone layout, in Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave and Vivaldi.
