Libreddit and Teddit are practically dead - eviltoast

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

    See I thought that Beehaw.org was the Lemmy instance for news, as it’s supposed to be a well moderated instance, am I incorrect in that assumption?

    I just started a US and World news community on my instance (had federation issues with Beehaw and a lot of stuff randomly didn’t come through in either direction, especially comments/replies). I contributed to the moderation policies they use for their news sub, and the community I put together has even tougher standards than that.

    If you’re interested, here’s a post I put together with the standards for posts and the moderation policies we use: https://dubvee.org/post/58845

    Community link: /c/news@dubvee.org

    I feel guilty plugging my own community, but if Beehaw isn’t an option (they really are well modded), then I hope for this to be the next best thing. I’ve found the other existing news communities to be somewhat lacking in proper moderation and source vetting.
