According to libreddit:
Official instance (libreddit.spike.codes)
The official instance is hosted at https://libreddit.spike.codes.
And it’s also still listed on libreddit-instances
But Today it hadn’t worked for me at all.

This is why https://farside.link/ is a very good thing to use.
Well, it moves the issue of privacy-frontend linkrot one level higher.
What happens if farside.link goes down? Should there be a service that redirects between multiple Farside instances? (for start it would be great if there were any other Farside instances) That’s again the same issue, but on different level. Is solution somewhere in IPFS or in some other decentralised technology? No idea, but it would be great if more people paid attention to this and helped find these solutions.
Ohh, that’s similar to using libredirect which keeps a curated list of frontends.
The bad thing is not keeping local copies of subscriptions wherever supported, so if the user forgets to keep backups, that additional layer does it for the user, and can change to any frontend instance keeping the same subscriptions for all, and even preferences, :). That’s perhaps way beyond the scope of any tool…
Yes, LibRedirect is redirecting done on client side and Farside is redirecting done on server side. So Farside works even without browser plugins. I mostly use it when sharing links with other people, so that I do not send them into various privacy hellholes just because I wanted them to see something interesting.
Good question in regards to subscriptions. I’m not a web developer, so I do not know exactly what are all the technologies that could be used to solve this.
