Are libreddit frontends for reddit already non functional? (lemmy.ml)

I started some time ago using a teddit frontend with local subscriptions, and at some point it was hard for the one I picked to keep up, then I moved to libreddit, at that time libredd.it, then it stopped working and moved to libreddit.spike.codes, but it seems it stopped working as well, and finally I moved to libreddit .mha.fi, but some time back there was too much rate limiting, making it unusable, and since yesterday it seems totally down, giving the error "502 Bad Gateway". I also have the libRedirect extension on Librewolf configure to choose among several libreddit instances (so when searching for something any is picked), and most of them seem out of service, or being rate limited as well.

So, are frontends for reddit finally coming to an end?

Edit: Indeed, it seems at least non self-hosted front-end instances are way rate limited or down

You can self-host libreddit, which is what I do, and it will still continue to work. That said, it is on borrowed time as development has mostly stopped.

All the public instances are unusable b/c of the rate-limits, unfortunately.

That's so sad. So perhaps it's time to say goodbye to reddit frontends, :( I'd prefer to setup rss feeds, but even those are getting rate limited now a days.

Sadly, even with the movement to lemmy, several interesting technical subs are still strong on reddit. The thing with local feeds, is disk space, and self-host is something I can't do at the moment. At any rate, with the last libreddit front end down, I can't even easily get the subs I was locally subscribed to, :(

Oh well...
