teddit.net and libredd.it are alternative interfaces that still work (until they shut down the API)

  They reverse engineered the Reddit API used by the official web client. It's not the same as the public API. Shutting down this API would break the website.

    I'm definitely sure that (at least) Teddit uses official APIs (https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/wiki#oauth-vs-non-oauth https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/wiki#oauth-vs-non-oauth). Are you confusing it with Nitter (which does use Twitter's undocumented APIs)?

      Yes, oops!

    • jacooper 4y ago
      Its handled at the server level

      CORS is enforced within browsers, not servers. Libreddit and teddit require you to self host or use publicly hosted instances.

        Ah, I thought they are simply JS UIs to reddit servers. That explains it, thanks.

  libredd.it has gotten the hug of death now.
