  Does reddit have user editable front ends you can host yourself?

      Apparently a lot of stuff does. I know what I’m spending my weekend looking into.

        None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.

  Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.

  It was borderline, but I found it to still be true

  People made their own frontends, which could then hosted officially by the instance with the resources to go with it.

  That doesn’t happen with Reddit, where the alternative frontends are run separately and the usefulness varies
