as the title says, all of these frontends are dead now, which means that its impossible to view any of the datat that exists on these sites if we dont own an account

is that it? should we just quit using these sites or what?

    We don’t need reddit, reddit needs us. Just move on and be done with the platform. Just create new habits with Lemmy and reddit should slowly fade away from your mind. If we give alternatives some time, I’m sure great content will emerge and crazy shit like the three days no poop challenge will happen more over time.

    I am personally very optimistic.

    We should strive to use/promote privacy-friendly and foss alternatives ( fediverse in general ) like Mastodon or Lemmy.

    So I just visited reddit for the first time since June 30th because of this post. Opened a private window, typed reddit.com. It loaded fine. What makes you think you need an account to “view any of the datat that exists on” reddit?

      because teddit is faster, lighter and looks better than stock reddit site

      also to prevent trackers, ads and unnecessary JS that bloats and slows down the browser

        While I appreciate the response the logic doesn’t check out. You can view the content. You don’t need an account unless you want to use your own viewer. This post was misleading.

        Given your response other people’s answer to just not visit reddit is correct.

          You don’t need an account unless you want to use your own viewer.

          youre right, but teddit is the best way for people to lurk on reddit without actually giving reddit any traffic (remember, its not using reddit’s API, it uses its own unofficial API like nitter)

          also it works on mobile browsers, and we all know how reddit behaves when you use its browser version on android

    If I want to still be able to look at the works of my favorite artists, photographers and animators, I will unfortunately have to use it to some extent. Some of them also post on other platforms like pixiv, which allows you to look at content without an account. If there is any other way to look at their content, I do, but some are Twitter exclusive unfortunately.

    People will naturally follow their favorite artists and will want to interact with them. If you could somehow convince the creators to post on a free and open alternative, I would not have any problem completely deleting my Twitter account.

    In the case of Reddit, I would delete my Reddit account if I knew that all the rock hounders, bug identifiers, mineral photographers and crochet enthusiasts were here.

    So, what now? If you are able to, create content that people are interested in and post in exclusively on free and open alternatives. If you have any useful skills or know-how, help people on free and open alternatives with their questions and problems. That is how I got into Twitter and Reddit at least. Maybe it will work for others too.

    And most importantly: be nice. Don’t downvote people’s comments and posts for no reason. Don’t leave toxic comments. Say Thank you, give people compliments, provide constructive criticism and try to be helpful.

    That’s not quite true. I self-host libreddit and it continues to work fine. The public instances with many users will not work because of the new API limits, but if you run one yourself, it should continue to work.

    That said, I’ve mostly switched over to lemmy and mastodon and haven’t had a need to go to reddit or twitter.

    Teddit doesn’t hold any data. It’s “data” was reddit. It’s developers think that when you use the free key for 60 requests per second, that it will probably be enough.

    Libreddit is trying to use the private Reddit API . Which is currently being used by the official Reddit app.

    Running Teddit using a free key seems fairly usable, as long as you are self hosting an instance. Libreddits’s approach tries to bring back the old situation

    Projects will deviate and find ways to be useful again.
