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

Go to the settings, ping the instances, and add a handful with good ping.

I cycle through 3-4 instances using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + L is the default but you can change it via your brower's extension settings) and usually find one that's up and running.

I usually just go to an instance itself. Sounds like you are using an extension?

Thanks. I found an instance that is working better, but still with a lot of errors.
