libreddit VS whoogle-search

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, ..).

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.

There are also the libreddit and teddit projects that may manage to survive.

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.

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.

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

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?
