Today I just noticed, after trying to convert a reddit link (from this sub!), that teddit is no longer working.

We all knew this was coming. Even so...

Fuck those asshats that are in charge over there. They had a good thing and pissed all over it

We need a scraper rather than an API caller.

Something similar to @BotIt I suppose?

Reddit front-ends access Reddit data in a way that is now bound by much stricter rate-limiting than ever before.
Popular instances may be usable for a short time until their limit is reached, then they will 429 like everyone else.
If you, personally, host a Reddit front-end instance, you are still affected, you are just less likely to reach the limit as quickly as public instances.

Here's what the Libreddit project intends to do about it: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/836
If similar projects plan to continue, they will likely follow a similar approach.

Both teddit and libreddit have been down more than up the last couple of days for me. However, I discovered an android app that is still working. Geddit. I don't claim to understand why the former two don't but the latter still does.

LibReddit seems to be working still. At least my instance is.

If it's public, please share a link!

Joey for reddit switched off today too. Oh well bye bye reddit.

There are instances that still work for me.

Please share which ones still work!
