      have you considered using alternatives front ends for some of the major social platforms?

      I use libreddit/redlib to browse reddit. you can run an instance locally or connect to remote ones. this way your IP isn't logged by reddit in the first place & no JavaScript is required to be run for the website to function properly.

      there is even an extension called libredirect which can automatically swap clicked reddit (& other platforms) links to the same page on public frontends, which removes the hasstle of manually changing the URL.

          redlib is the updated version of libreddit & it seems to have circumvented the issues reddit caused so maybe consider giving it another try.

          I think stealth also broke when they removed free API access. although, you can still use the webscraping mode by changing it in the settings I believe. if u want another option maybe try out RedReader or Geddit.

            Btw you can also use normal third-party clients with your custom developer API key, there's a patched version of Apollo for iOS/iPadOS (you can download it from AltStore using their custom repository, it's explained on the website) and ReVanced offers a patch for Infinity on Android. The patched Apollo version has a quick guide on how to get an API Key, it works with all apps that support these custom keys though:

            1. Sign into your Reddit account and go to the link above (reddit.com/prefs/apps)
            2. Click the "are you a developer? create an app..." button
            3. Fill in the fields
              • Name: anything
              • Choose "Installed App"
              • Description: anything
              • About url: anything
              • Redirect uri: apollo://reddit-oauth
            4. Click "create app"
            5. After creating the app you'll get a client identifier which will be a bunch of random characters.

              The official instance is hosted at https://redlib.matthew.science

              It’s already broken.

              Their server is down, but I haven't seen a Redlib instance get blocked by Reddit. Try another instance like safereddit.com or check out the entire list of instances: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib-instances/blob/main/instances.md

              LibRedirect should also automatically fetch the list and allow you to choose instances you like

              I would avoid trying to make sure you use the "official instance" as it kind of works against the projects purpose of decentralizing web requests. pinging around instances helps with avoiding outages as well. you can find active instances here on the uptime monitor.

              otherwise, stealth should work just fine if u turn on webscraping mode. I have been using it since the reddit changes with only very occasional issues, as similar to you I have some quams with alternative reddit clients.
