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.
The topic specifically asks for features that are NOT availible on reddit.
Does reddit have user editable front ends you can host yourself?
Yes.
Ooh cool.

Apparently a lot of stuff does. I know what I’m spending my weekend looking into.
None of those work anymore after the API changes. Which is the entire point of my original comment.
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.

and it’s literally just one of dozens of alternative frontends for reddit.
None of which work anymore.

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.
It was borderline, but I found it to still be true
People made their own frontends, which could then hosted officially by the instance with the resources to go with it.
That doesn’t happen with Reddit, where the alternative frontends are run separately and the usefulness varies
