Comment on What are the best features of Lemmy that aren't available in Reddit?
theKalash@feddit.ch 9 months agoI’m personally not using any reddit related apps anymore and only vaguely followed the whole API debacle. It’s becoming shitty which is the reason I quit it.
But saying 3rd party apps or frontend don’t exist for reddit is ridiculous. They do, it doesn’t matter if they suck. I was just pointing out an error, not trying to argue for or against lemmy/reddit. But apperently some people really took offence with that.

So which ones exist and work?

Copied from another comment in this thread:
github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends
github.com/…/shininggowl-reddit-clone-frontend
github.com/junipf/reddit-frontend
github.com/libreddit/libreddit
github.com/Hoda233/SW-Frontend-Reddit
And that was just going through top google results. Not all of them might still work, some of them now only work properly if you self-host with your own API key. I also found some apps on my phone that had recent reviews that said they still worked.
As I said, I’m not using reddit anymore I don’t really want to get into it that much. But it’s obvious they are still around (and of course … some people still love reddit and know how to code …).
If you genuinly want to find the best still working 3rd party reddit client, I’m not in a position to tell you which one it is. My entire point is that there is some “best 3rd party client” by what ever metric you choose. Even if it’s shitty compared to lemmy.

Those ones were mentioned as not working due to API changes. Which ones actually work now? It’s not so obvious they are still around when all the third-party applications closed due to the crazy fees.
