Yes, and third party clients, specifically alternate web UIs are not available on Reddit.
But they are …
Can you mention one then?
You literally only have to type “reddit frontend” into google, but I’ll help you out.

A lot of that functionality no longer works after the API changes. Even in the GitHub of some of those, they mention some basic features won’t work, e.g. private messages.
Because developers aren’t willing to pay the new API fees, not because of technical limitations. So that doesn’t take away at all from the fact that 3rd party frontends for reddit exist.

I think you’re just being needlessly pedantic here
Wtf is wrong with you
Right … something is wrong with me. Not the people argue over something that is objectivly false and can be verified in less then 15 seconds.
And I honestly don’t get why. Are you people so upset about reddit you’d rather deny reality just so you can claim having some feature over reddit? How fucking pathetic is that?
Hey, thanks for this scathing glimpse into your suckhole of a brain pocket, kiddo. Blocked. 😘
lol Jesus tap dancing christ.
That’s not entirely true. Some of the previously available API hooks literally cannot be used by third parties anymore, even if you pay. Just go look at the reddit developer posts discussing it.
But also not really relevant to the initial point. Not being able to watch porn from reddit via 3rd party apps is quite different statement than there being no 3rd party apps.
Those weren’t the only hooks to get axed, but certainly the most noticeable. Look, I never fully disagreed with you, I just said it’s not fully functional, which is true and also relevant to the comment topic.
Do you really expect the developers of those free and open source apps to pay for you using their app?
No.

As of July 12th, 2023, Libreddit is currently not operational as Reddit’s API changes, that were designed to kill third-party apps and content scrapers who don’t pay large fees, went into effect. Read the full announcement here.
Edit: Downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.
One of the project maintainers is working towards keeping this project alive to some extent: #836
and it’s literally just one of dozens of alternative frontends for reddit.
None of which work anymore.
Edit: Again, downvoting me doesn’t make you any less wrong.
Yes, some do still work. And libreddit would still work if you pay for the API on your instance.
Anyway, 3rd party apps for reddit exist, period. You can continue to deny reality on your own.
