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?

    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.

      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.
