Yeah, the changes in the API and the official Reddit client are the main reasons to use Lemmy for me. I'm thinking in scrapping the HTML version but I didn't try yet.
They're trying to combat web scraping with rate limits. It might be VERY slow. Doesn't hurt to try though.
If scraping is slow, doesn't that mean browsing reddit will also be slow?
Rate limits mean that it works normally until you hit whatever number they set (let's say 1000). Then you hit an "Oops! You were browsing too fast!" message and have to wait.
