as the title says, all of these frontends are dead now, which means that its impossible to view any of the datat that exists on these sites if we dont own an account
is that it? should we just quit using these sites or what?
The answer is to use Fediverse alternatives to Reddit and Twitter.
What a wild idea…
We don’t need reddit, reddit needs us. Just move on and be done with the platform. Just create new habits with Lemmy and reddit should slowly fade away from your mind. If we give alternatives some time, I’m sure great content will emerge and crazy shit like the three days no poop challenge will happen more over time.
I am personally very optimistic.
the three days no poop challenge
That’s a challenge?

Just to be clear, he absolutely wasn’t going hiking but to some sort of BDSM event.
We were there boys!

no, it’s impossible.
Back in the day, when I used to go to metal festivals, there was a group among my friends who would never go for a number two during the festival. Instead, they’d weigh themselves back at home, take a dump and weigh themselves again and whoever lost the most weight won.
So… there’s that.

The hell happened here?

Yeah unironically this. Mental outlaw did a good video on this subject recently, about Reddit, and he spoke about Chad web scrapers
The solution is to ditch Reddit altogether.
twitter 👎 reddit 👎 meta 👎 alphabet 👎
You forgot Amazon (Twitch)
Dear God, to wasn’t FAANG all along. All fear MARTA!
What social media does alphabet have?
youtube, google
Really stretching the meaning of “social media” there but sure.
Are they?
Teddit uses his own “Unofficial API” for scrapping.
I’ve posted here a list of Reddit apps that will continue to work https://lemmy.ml/comment/1054018How do these apps manage to still work?
They don’t use the API, they appear as web browsers and download the actual reddit webpages and extract the posts and comments from that.
Which is certainly more inefficient and stressing reddit’s servers more than using the API.
should’ve stopped a long time ago. I’ve been off everything but reddit for years and now I’m here.
we need to respond to things fucking us over quicker. Blizzard, the public transit system in America, Reddit, Twitter, Blizzard, the United States.
we give these cunts too much wiggle room
With things like Blizzard it’s “easy”. I don’t NEED Diablo 4. I’d like it, but i’m not going to get it out of principle. But Reddit is different. I don’t need it as a social media platform or to post myself, but for me, a huge portion of relevant online search results are from reddit. I pretty much run into tech and non-tech issues on a daily basis that are only documented or solved by a years old reddit post. And i’m pretty sad to see that go. Not the social part of reddit, but having so much condensed knowledge in a single place.
And while lemmy is nice it isn’t an alternative until i can move instances and subscribe to communities without having a pending status for weeks. You also can’t search online for lemmy because of motörhead and because every instance names itself.
I would argue reddit shouldn’t have been used for tech stuff and troubleshooting as much as it was. Neither should discord for that matter.
For this purpose wikis and old-school forums worked well. I hope we go more back to that.
I also just quit youtube. Don’t use it much so now I’m down to streaming services that won’t spam me or are actually worth paying for. There’s nothing on YouTube I’d pay to watch. Sorry viva la dirt league, not even you. If they had their own streaming service maybe!
So, which are worth paying for? Netflix hasn’t done a good show for me in 2 or 3 years. Prime Videos Interface, search and selection sucks, Paramount has basically only Star Trek for me. Disney plus comes pretty close for me. I love Star Wars and Marvel, and with a child in the house, they have something for everyone. But i’d argue Disney is a morally worse company than google or reddit.
should we just quit using these sites or what?
Yes.
Because I don’t want to feed your addiction I will not let you know which 3rd party apps will work because FUCK SPEZ nobody should ever go back lol.
Damn, check out this guy with his fancy embedded meme into his comment.
Now you will have to tell
Teddit doesn’t hold any data. It’s “data” was reddit. It’s developers think that when you use the free key for 60 requests per second, that it will probably be enough.
Libreddit is trying to use the private Reddit API . Which is currently being used by the official Reddit app.
Running Teddit using a free key seems fairly usable, as long as you are self hosting an instance. Libreddits’s approach tries to bring back the old situation
Projects will deviate and find ways to be useful again.
Yes; I highly doubt any of these projects are truly “dead”, they just need to figure out the best ways to scrape these services.
Libreddit is trying to use the private Reddit API . Which is currently being used by the official Reddit app.
How is this possible? Doesn’t Reddit restrict their private API behind some sort of key/token?
I have no idea, they probably found a way to simulate the mobile app during the authentication fase.
Dance party obviously. Don’t know why that wasn’t your first thought.
Lemmy
is that it? should we just quit using these sites or what?
Yes.
Teddit use an unofficial API https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit they don’t relay on reddit.
my bad, changing the title
It’s possible to change the title after posting here?! 😲
Something I wish Reddit had before the migration…
Teddit provides unofficial API (proxy) for rss but it relies on reddit API.
teddit config.js file
use_reddit_oauth: process.env.USE_REDDIT_OAUTH === ‘true’ || false, // If false, teddit uses Reddit’s public API. If true, you need to have your own Reddit app ID (enter the app ID to the “reddit_app_id” config key).
I saw it in their codeberg.org repo. Shit.
It gives us the great joy of saying “fuck 'em”
