On August 1st, 2023, tedd.it will cease its operations and shut down permanently.

With the new restrictions on the Reddit API taking place, tedd.it’s access to Reddit and its content has been severely limited, effectively rendering the site unusable for more than a handful of users. This is the cause for the “429 Too Many Requests” errors you see lately.

Sadly, tedd.it is just one more victim in a long list of projects and apps killed by the changes. This is a deliberate decision by Reddit, with the intent of killing content scrapers and third-party apps unless they pay enormous, unrealistic fees, simply because they want to cut costs on their infrastructure to protect their bottom line.

    Although I never used Teddit, this makes me sad. I very much appreciated the work of the developers and hosts of these open source front ends to Reddit did.
