    In the Libreddit Matrix chat I’ve seen them talk about the GraphQL API as well as webscraping, but there are problems/potential problems with both. But I think because libreddit doesn’t do anything with user accounts there is at least a better chance of it surviving, at least after the initial changes.

      Web scraping is the least reliable way to get website data, sadly.

        Yeah, and plus based on what they’ve said it seems they would hypothetically do it from old reddit as well, which poses even more problems. This is all more than speculative anyway. Regardless, point is, might survive a bit longer until more changes are made. Second it’s rendered obsolete that’s pretty much it for me and reddit.
