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

I just started using rss for the communities I still want to know about.
You only need to add the reddit name of the community and .rss at the end in your reader.
For example https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/hot.rss

    RSS feeds started throwing 429 errors today, like I predicted. They were never going to leave this loophole open.
