In reading the rules and pinned posts, it doesn’t seem to me that my question is out of line with the intention of the community. However, if I am mistaken, please remove the post and accept my sincere apologies.
So, I’ve been getting a lot of 429 errors as of late. Today, I came across this post by one of the Teddit instance admins. The reason for the 429, is the same API restrictions that killed the apps. Teddit is dying.
I still use Reddit for searches, unfortunately, considering much of the world’s IT knowledgebase is on there. Since before the Reddit spez-out, I was using Teddit on PC or Slide/Infinity on mobile. Now that Teddit is being so severely limited by the API debacle that it has instances shutting down, I find myself asking: what Reddit front-ends still work?
Regrettably, I can’t not use Reddit for work, though I don’t participate or even log in, but I REALLY don’t want to give Reddit the traffic.
It seems that Reddit has succeeded in killing scrapers, too :((
From their git:
⚠️ Why do I get TOO MANY REQUESTS errors? ⚠️
As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.
