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
Enjoy your upvote!
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.
The instances seem to all be dropping like flies, I’ve had to use Libreddit a few times tonight and each time, whichever instance I’d been using is dead.
If you’re using public instances then yes. Thankfully, Docker-Compose has your back.
If it’s public, please share a link!
RIP Teddit…
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!
