I started some time ago using a teddit frontend with local subscriptions, and at some point it was hard for the one I picked to keep up, then I moved to libreddit, at that time libredd.it, then it stopped working and moved to libreddit.spike.codes, but it seems it stopped working as well, and finally I moved to libreddit .mha.fi, but some time back there was too much rate limiting, making it unusable, and since yesterday it seems totally down, giving the error “502 Bad Gateway”. I also have the libRedirect extension on Librewolf configure to choose among several libreddit instances (so when searching for something any is picked), and most of them seem out of service, or being rate limited as well.

So, are frontends for reddit finally coming to an end?

Edit: Indeed, it seems at least non self-hosted front-end instances are way rate limited or down

    Some of them still work. But as you edited in, they are likely rate limited.

      very few, and one has to try so many times… I gave up. I guess RSS feeds whenever possible. though that consumes disk if local, so I’m really reluctant…
