It appears API rate limiting has effectively killed these alternatives. You essentially get nothing but “Too many requests” 429 errors.

Lemmy sadly does not have the active niche news and discussions I want. But now nothing can be read without going to Reddit. I hate Spez

There's that one Lemmy instance that has a bot that posts content scrapped from Reddit, I forgot the name though.

    I know some people don't like these bots, but I'm keen on the cross posting. Bringing the idea to this platform and then people can discuss it. It's mostly the discussions that have the best value anyway 🦙

    I think the idea of having crossposted content is ok since you can opt in or out of seeing it, just looked through the instance though and it seems like nobody is interacting with the content at all. For me, my favorite part of the posts on Reddit was reading through the conversations in the comments. Imo, if nobody is interacting with the content that is being crossposted we shouldn’t bother with continuing to copy it over

    It seems to mostly cover the big subs.

    Just request the ones you want here and it will start syncing them. Make sure you subscribe after the communities are made (takes a few minutes) or the dev will disable the bot on those communities. The more people who subscribe, the more often it checks for updates. https://lemmit.online/c/requests
