I'll try Redlib, thanks for the heads up.
Edit:
It's already broken.
Stealth continued working for a few months after they killed the API.
RedReader is just a terrible app, if I'm honest.
Will try Geddit but I doubt they will hold up to Stealth. It was so good :'(
Their server is down, but I haven't seen a Redlib instance get blocked by Reddit. Try another instance like safereddit.com or check out the entire list of instances: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md
LibRedirect should also automatically fetch the list and allow you to choose instances you like
Yes that sort of thing seems to happen frequently with these type of platforms. LibReddit, Piped, Invidious, Bibliogram, etc.
It's too much hassle to constantly be trying to chase down a functioning instance.
LibRedirect automates most of that for you. Also, I've been using safereddit.com for over 6 months and never had any issues. Just try it out and see if it works for you :)
How does it do that?
Already did, did not work at all. Constantly redirected me to broken webpages.
It fetches an updated list of working instances. It also has a built-in tool that let's you ping all instances and remove the broken ones. I'm pretty sure this will work well, even if you remove all instances except for safereddit.com. That's another way you can use it: Just find one working instance and remove all the others.
Maybe that's new since I last used it...
