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 were some discussions among the teddit hosts about attempting to use scraping instead, but it's not easy and requires a lot of changes to the code. Not to mention it's going to quickly become a cat and mouse game if reddit makes changes to their site. It's just not worth it at this point. Reddit doesn't want us.

if you really want reddit use old reddit or still working libreddit instances

Take a look at this post. Maybe the GitHub repo mentioned there can help.
