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

There's that one Lemmy instance that has a bot that posts content scrapped from Reddit, I forgot the name though.

It seems to mostly cover the big subs.

Just request the ones you want here and it will start syncing them. Make sure you subscribe after the communities are made (takes a few minutes) or the dev will disable the bot on those communities. The more people who subscribe, the more often it checks for updates. https://lemmit.online/c/requests

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
