▲ 196 ▼ Libreddit and Teddit are practically dead (lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago by derf82@lemmy.world to c/reddit@lemmy.ml 74 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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

You can download the data here: posts, comments. If you're on Linux, once you have downloaded and extracted the respective file, you could run something like grep -m 1 '"id":"11eoagd"' RS_2023-03 | jq, where 11eoagd is the post ID. It's not pretty, but it works. permalink fedilink source parent
