Besides Teddit, which is being severely limited by the API debacle and has instances shutting down, what Reddit front-ends still work? (tedd.it)

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.

If you're on Android, Joey appears to still be working fine. It has been getting slower since the API drama but it appears to still be fully functional.

I'll admit that it doesn't have the best search feature though.

It died today.

The developer of Relay for Reddit is working on optimizing the API usage of the app. I'm not using it (still boycotting Reddit), but I see there are android updates every few days.

Narwahl on iOS still seems to work

[–] ChromaticMan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The developer of Narwahl is reworking the app, it is going to use subscriptions to cover the cost of the API. He has a grace period where the API is still working for free.

Same situation as Relay for Reddit on Android.

[–] spacedancer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No more nsfw though.

[–] sock@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] Turkey_Titty_city@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

You can also browse old.reddit on Firefox mobile with an addon.

Libreddit is an alternative, it’s working for me for now, but I’m not using it to search, I’m just redirecting Reddit URLs to it.

They are at least actively investigating the API situation: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/818

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.

Have a look at this post: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/192961

Slide seems to work without logging in. Otherwise, libreddit and old.reddit.

[–] GrossGhost@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I just tested Geddit from f-droid and it seems to be working.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Now for Reddit is still working

[–] PrepaidCompare@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Dawn still works for me. I haven't tested NSFW however.
