Teddit Is Shutting Down
This is a particular teddit instance shutting down, not teddit the software project.
Stuff is moving a lot currently and there is a bumpy road ahead, but there are several courses of action already being mapped out (scraping html, r-e the private gql api, a setting for operators to put some auth token, ..).
- Version 1.21 released

Every Flashing Element on Your Site Alienates and Enrages Users
I still wonder if flashing elements and the constant nudging is worth it. I sometimes think I'm the only one but apparently there are about 15 % that are heavily annoyed by this. And those are users that you either lose completely or that block every unnecessary item on your website with ad blockers or reader mode.
I can't stand using Reddit on a mobile browser constantly asking if I want to install their app. Fortunately, there are alternative frontends such as Libreddit or teddit [2]. I hope they survive the API war.

The future of troddit
There are also the libreddit and teddit projects that may manage to survive.

Official Lemmy instance to migrate off reddit
At least for the moment, one can still read (not login) r/rust using libreddit at https://r.nf/r/rust. I don't know it that will be affected by the API changes.
-
This is what shows if you try to access this sub in mobile web.
An other way, that also should work if old reddit is gone, is libreddit.
libreddit does use the official API so will be affected by the limits on 3rd party apps.
-
On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest the killing of 3rd Party Apps! All FOSS apps are 3rd Party Apps. Will /r/linux join the strike?
Alternative web based front-ends for Reddit might get shut down or affected to, see Libreddit's github issue on Reddit's API changes. Really sucks

Call for proposal submissions
But it might be easier to modify and test with a server / desktop app instead. I think https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit or https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit seem like decent clients to try. But maybe you know of something simpler?

[Youtube Vanced] This is THE BEST youtube background shortcut which is no different from Youtube Vanced in Android. Just click the blue youtube icon on your home screen to open it, play a video, turn off the screen and listen it.
That's a nice one. Also, there is Piped / Invidious which you can self-host and run or use a public instance like - https://pipedd official instance of Piped). It has no ads and tracking by default, supports 4K playback, integrated SponsorBlock (block in-video sponsor ads by content producers) and many other features.

refuse to be a commodity. use libre services.
you can use frontends for reddit and youtube if you just want to browse. for reddit, you can use libreddit. for YouTube, you can use invidious. this will make it so that your machine never sends requests directly to reddit or youtube. if you want apps, then there's newpipe, vuetube, libretube(all for android).
-
Libretube or Newpipe
While they both provide a degree of privacy, with NewPipe, the extraction is done locally on your phone and all the request sent towards YouTube/Google are done directly from the network you're connected to. This means you're not dependent on a middleman server, which results in better speeds and more reliable function overall. The cost is, that your subscriptions are stored locally, although you can set up a manual sync between your Android devices and/or other alternative desktop frontends like Invidious or Piped, but that still requires quite a bunch of clicking - as far as I know, there is no complete sync solution developed by anyone so far.

Adblocking People and Non-Adblocking People Experience a Different Web
There is also alternative youtube front ends that don't have ads, notably Invidious[0], and work in cases where the browser doesn't have or can't support extensions such as ad blockers. For anyone interested I run my own instance that is retro tech themed[1], and there is a public instance list with more instances[2].
