As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.

One of the project maintainers is working towards keeping this project alive to some extent: #836
and it’s literally just one of dozens of alternative frontends.

A lot of that functionality no longer works after the API changes. Even in the GitHub of some of those, they mention since basic features won’t work, e.g. private messages.

Because developers aren’t willing to pay the new API fees, not because of technical limitations. So that doesn’t take away at all from the fact that 3rd party frontends for reddit exist.
