In reading the rules and pinned posts, it doesn鈥檛 seem to me that my question is out of line with the intention of the community. However, if I am mistaken, please remove the post and accept my sincere apologies.
So, I鈥檝e been getting a lot of 429 errors as of late. Today, I came across this post by one of the Teddit instance admins. The reason for the 429, is the same API restrictions that killed the apps. Teddit is dying.
I still use Reddit for searches, unfortunately, considering much of the world鈥檚 IT knowledgebase is on there. Since before the Reddit spez-out, I was using Teddit on PC or Slide/Infinity on mobile. Now that Teddit is being so severely limited by the API debacle that it has instances shutting down, I find myself asking: what Reddit front-ends still work?
Regrettably, I can鈥檛 not use Reddit for work, though I don鈥檛 participate or even log in, but I REALLY don鈥檛 want to give Reddit the traffic.
You must log in or # to comment.
If you鈥檙e on Android, Joey appears to still be working fine. It has been getting slower since the API drama but it appears to still be fully functional.
I鈥檒l admit that it doesn鈥檛 have the best search feature though.
It died today.
Narwahl on iOS still seems to work
The developer of Narwahl is reworking the app, it is going to use subscriptions to cover the cost of the API. He has a grace period where the API is still working for free.
Same situation as Relay for Reddit on Android.
No more nsfw though.
The developer of Relay for Reddit is working on optimizing the API usage of the app. I鈥檓 not using it (still boycotting Reddit), but I see there are android updates every few days.
reddit is fun still works for me for unlogged in browsing except for porn
i dont use it tho coz of the latter part of my sentence
porn is fine on old.reddit.com
You can also browse old.reddit on Firefox mobile with an addon.
Libreddit is an alternative, it鈥檚 working for me for now, but I鈥檓 not using it to search, I鈥檓 just redirecting Reddit URLs to it.
They are at least actively investigating the API situation: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/818
It seems that Reddit has succeeded in killing scrapers, too :((
From their git:
鈿狅笍 Why do I get TOO MANY REQUESTS errors? 鈿狅笍
As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit鈥檚 API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don鈥檛 pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.

Slide seems to work without logging in. Otherwise, libreddit and old.reddit.
I just tested Geddit from f-droid and it seems to be working.
Dawn still works for me. I haven鈥檛 tested NSFW however.
