OS: Debian 13.7. I use redlib, a reddit frontend, to read content on reddit but since last week I can only load communities, not the posts themselves. Example: I can load https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/new, but I cannot load any of the posts shown there. As output on the browser I get:

Failed to parse page JSON data: expected value at line 1 column 1 | /r/texts%2Fcomments/1xeaxvt/first_screenshot_is_my_dad_next_two_are_my_mom_i/.json?&sort=confidence&raw_json=1

Is reddit tinkering again with the code to force everyone that wants to access content to sign up with them?

Any workaround so far?

I am running the nachtalb fork (currently commit 082605c from this morning), which is actively implementing countermeasures, including HTML scraping. Right now, I can open posts. I don’t have to provide an account.
