    redlib is amazing

    two weeks goes by and it breaks

    Not worth the effort. Been down that road. Redlib fixes, Reddit breaks again, over and over and over.

      I think it has always worked for me. The instances break regularly, but I just redirect to another one with libredirect.

      It’s clear that Redlibs maintainer is burnt out, as were the LibReddit folks who developed and maintained it initially before it was forked. Software like this is an endless cat and mouse chase, Reddit break something, the community works around it, rinse and repeat.

      It’s why we don’t see Bibliogram around anymore, Instagram made their APi unbearable to work with.

      In regard to the difficulty of keeping a Redlib instance alive, currently most of the discussion occurs in one issues post on GitHub, and people have suggested other docker images that currently work.

      hyper-tls fork(pr#509) has been pretty stable for a few months now. But yes, it is unfortunate that it will succumb to cat and mouse game eventually
