My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use…

If you want to lurk on Reddit, you can use this web reader I built for myself when I got inspired by the Apollo app years ago

      If it’s popular enough maybe. For now it’s averaging 17-18k visits monthly so not even a drop in the ocean. But yeah i can’t post the direct link to rdx on Reddit. I have to post Github link.

    Very nice! Thanks for creating this. I miss some of the subreddits I used to subscribe to.

    How do I import subscriptions from Reddit on RDX?

    This is perfect! I lurk on mobile, and their mobile site is horrendous. I’ll be using this from now on!

      If Reddit had a good UI I would return in a heartbeat. I’m sick of small, practically inactive communities for hobbies and these shallow, poorly developed calls for the end of capitalism being shoved down my throat.

        Is this a popular opinion? I’m sort of shocked at the amount of upvotes this got tbh. Lemmy fulfills my reddit cravings, and honestly feels like a more mature community to me

      I would love to fix this, most people who have this issue are using enhanced privacy/tracking protection settings that block the reddit url or have VPN/proxies turned on. Unfortunately reddit blocks that traffic in the guise of preventing spam/scrapping.

      Now I can put up a server and bypass the traffic through my VPS and make the reddit content available to rdx(which libreddit used to do before reddit tightened their API). But soon enough they will ban my server, I will have to buy another and this keeps going on and on. That will be too much effort for too little gain.

      However if there are already some servers that make the reddit JSON available through some proxy, I am all for adding it to the app. However I couldn’t find anything that will even last a week.
