  You literally only have to type “reddit frontend” into google, but I’ll help you out.

    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.

        That’s not entirely true. Some of the previously available API hooks literally cannot be used by third parties anymore, even if you pay. Just go look at the reddit developer posts discussing it.

        Do you really expect the developers of those free and open source apps to pay for you using their app?

        I think you’re just being needlessly pedantic here
