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

RSS feeds started throwing 429 errors today, like I predicted. They were never going to leave this loophole open.

Which reader are you using?
I'm selfhosting FreshRSS and it keeps working

I'm not using one.

Wait, what?
Then how do you know it's started to throw errors if you're not reading rss?
