Still using reddit read-only through Libreddit but I don't even check it every day anymore.
I hit up my niche self-hosted and Linux subs, take a peek at /r/all, get immediately put off by all the bot content and toxicity, and come right back to Lemmy.
What is libreddit?
It's a self-hostable, private, read-only frontend for Reddit: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/
I run an instance for myself and haven't had any issues, but it sounds like popular instances are having issues with the API changes.
I've seen so much politics here on lemmy that I read "libreddit" as "liberal reddit", instead of "library for accessing reddit". UGH 😭
Close -- it's actually a portmanteau of "libre" and "reddit"
Oh, that's actually a pretty neat portmanteau!
I assumed it meant library because of linux naming conventions lol
