Check out libreddit while you still can ... [That was it!]

Some instances (JSON) are still working, but probably not for very much longer, e. g.

This may help to get the GuildWars2 community here up and running.

Will libreddit stop working once the new API is online on Reddit?

brogrum@lemmy.wtf · 6 pts · 3y (6 replies)

Most likely. The probably not for very much longer in my post is a link. 🙂

But as long as it works you could swap out the r/guildwars2 link on the sidebar for one which uses libreddit, e. g.

- [r/guildwars2}(https://safereddit.com/r/guildwars2)

Also you could write the sidebar links to other communities in an instance agnostic way like

- [m/guildwars2](/c/guildwars2@kbin.social) (kbin)
- [c/mmorpg](/c/mmorpg@lemmy.ml)

which works on any instance which already knows the magazine/community.

I think lemmy-ui-0.18.0 has a feature which does this automatically:

This is the comment I saw on lemmy.ml which mentions this new 0.18.0 feature:

Sadly the same will not work for posts and comments since those are uniquely numbered per instance instead of having a global UUID:

Thanks, I will do that :)

oho, you have updated to 0.18.0. We ain't afraid of no bots, right? 🎵

The first thing I did was set it to "require registration application".

Thanks! It works perfect now when I access this community from lemmy.world!

It seems like (at least) the unauthenticated endpoints of the reddit api are still working. and hence is libreddit as well as teddit.

@meldrik@lemmy.wtf It's all over now ...

I'm happy to endorse a fellow Rust project, Lemmy! Lemmy is a federated, decentralized, free, and open source alternative to Reddit that has shot up in popularity since the Reddit API news.

Most instances I use are getting 429 errors today. Is there any plans for circumvention?

Lemmy is the New Reddit

As an alternative to Reddit and tedd.it, I invite you to try Lemmy, an alternative to Reddit built for the Fediverse. It's free, open source, and not controlled by a company or central entity. Many of those who left Reddit following the chaos have found their home there.

It was just a matter of time. Nice to see they are recommending Lemmy instead.

There's also teddit - with more basic, simple design (would recommend on mobile): https://teddit.pussthecat.org/r/Guildwars2/new/

necropola@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Yep, pretty much the same thing. Sadly both will most likely stop working when Reddit's API changes go live. But until then ... this is a link to the known instances from the original teddit repository on codeberg.org.
