Still using reddit read-only through Libreddit but I don't even check it every day anymore.
I hit up my niche self-hosted and Linux subs, take a peek at /r/all, get immediately put off by all the bot content and toxicity, and come right back to Lemmy.
I've seen so much politics here on lemmy that I read "libreddit" as "liberal reddit", instead of "library for accessing reddit". UGH 😭
Close -- it's actually a portmanteau of "libre" and "reddit"
Oh, that's actually a pretty neat portmanteau!
I assumed it meant library because of linux naming conventions lol
What is libreddit?
It's a self-hostable, private, read-only frontend for Reddit: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/
I run an instance for myself and haven't had any issues, but it sounds like popular instances are having issues with the API changes.
