Huh? My redlib instance broke maybe once this year because I didn’t update it for months. And once I did, it immediately worked again.
Comment on this absolute bullshit from reddit

two weeks goes by and it breaks
Not worth the effort. Been down that road. Redlib fixes, Reddit breaks again, over and over and over.

I think it has always worked for me. The instances break regularly, but I just redirect to another one with libredirect.

hyper-tls fork(pr#509) has been pretty stable for a few months now. But yes, it is unfortunate that it will succumb to cat and mouse game eventually

It’s clear that Redlibs maintainer is burnt out, as were the LibReddit folks who developed and maintained it initially before it was forked. Software like this is an endless cat and mouse chase, Reddit break something, the community works around it, rinse and repeat.
It’s why we don’t see Bibliogram around anymore, Instagram made their APi unbearable to work with.
At the end of the day though, I wouldn’t say it’s a difficult task to switch docker images to a fork that is now maintained.
