Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
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?
What was the content of the response? 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.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
same reason as the subreddit blackouts and the exodus to Lemmy back in June – Reddit is trying to lock down their API to and restrict it to “legitimate” (ie. paying) customers
No money = No responses. I will astroturf the site before letting everyone use the API for free again.
Glad to see I’m not the only one getting affected by this. Running your own instance was the only way to get Libreddit to work reliably for a while and then even that started breaking.
