Is there any details about this? I can’t find anything on the about page, or on a quick skim of the readme they have hosted on codeberg.
Nothing is resistant from changes in the upstream data source. It’s pretty easy to break things if you’re dependant like that.

- graypegg 3y agoSo are they just skimming content off the HTML responses/using private APIs used by Reddit themselves? If so, that actually seems less resistant to change, not more.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoNitter uses an "internal" unofficial Twitter API, and it does require active effort to keep up with. But still, that makes it immune to the whims of official API restrictions. I am not sure what teddit does.
