Tedd.it, a website that aggregates content from Reddit, is shutting down permanently on August 1st, 2023 due to restrictions on the Reddit API. The site has been experiencing “429 Too Many Requests” errors as Reddit has severely limited its access to content in an effort to cut costs. The site owner cannot afford the high fees that Reddit now demands for API access, so the decision has been made to shut down the site. To the users who found tedd.it useful, the site owner thanks them but is disappointed that things have to end this way due to Reddit’s corporate needs and profit motives. As an alternative to Reddit, the site owner recommends trying Lemmy, an open source Reddit alternative built for the Fediverse.
Nuts. Teddit was the best thing about Reddit.
I had never even heard of it, what made it special?
Fast way to visit Reddit without an account. Light, customizable, etc.
If you were a Reddit user who posted and commented, then you would never need this frontend. It was one of the privacy-respecting frontends, like Nitter, Invidious, Bibliogram, Proxitok or Scribe.
Also, no ads!
