 # Reddit
 
+*Update 2023:* **RIP REDDIT FRONTENDS! You are sorely missed.** Unfortunately, Reddit's greed killed your short - but incredible - usefulness as a privacy-respecting frontend. You basically now cannot expect to be able to browse Reddit in an anonymous, manner, except maybe via Tor browser.
+
+So, how does kzimmermann access reddit? Via RSS, and using the `old.reddit.com` interface instead. Add `.rss` to the end of the subreddit you want (ex: `old.reddit.com/r/linux/.rss`) and add it to your favorite newsreader. You can browse the site via a CLI browser like elinks and this way read it from the command line.
+
+The frontends below are now basically rendered useless due to the 2023 API change. Information is for historical purposes only. You can thank `/u/spez` for it.

 ## Teddit
 
 Teddit is a lightweight frontend that closely emulates the "old" interface of Reddit, and that does not require Javascript to work. You can browse subreddits, search for posts and enjoy a peaceful experience without any ads while sticking to a sane interface design.
