It’s not on every instance, so Libreddit still functions, but this seems to happen more and more on different instances. Then will get fixed and then fail again later the next day or week.

Is Reddit’s API literally changing the structure of the data payload randomly? Does anyone know why this is happening?

    That seems more like it was empty or invalid.

    Yep. I haven’t applied for a personal API key so I can’t load it into Postman, but my only thought was that it might be Reddit rate limiting or something similar. It’s just a guess which is why I asked here. I thought maybe someone here might know for sure.

      Probably not rate limiting. I run my own instance with me as the only user and it still affects me. It does come from a server IP range though.
