Libredirect is great, but it’s usefulness is waning. The frontends for Twitter and Instagram no longer work which hurt the usefulness. The frontend for TikTok is great when it works, which is only about half the time.

I know the bibliogram frontend was run into the ground by IG fuckery, but isn’t there another in use by LibRedirect now?

They use “proxigram” which has also never worked for me.

I love this for redirecting YouTube-links to FreeTube.

I believe most of libreddit stopped working, but redlib works great (which is basically just a continuation of that)

I used to use it for that too, but since the API-thing I got the impression that they all stopped working due to rate limiting?

It still works for private instances. The moment a public instance makes enough requests to reddit, they block it.

I’m running libreddit on my home server and access it through wireguard. Never been rate-limited. It’s the only thing I still use Libredirect, since most platforms ban third-larry frontends.

Still works fine for me. Redlib is operational, but it’s a work around at best and will likely sunset at some point. To my knowledge their method is to employ guests accounts to scrape reddit content.
