Posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX come from lemmy community only.

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

    Thank you! This is immensely helpful. There are a few subreddits or some other information that I need occasionally.

    Is RDX privacy friendly? Obviously use it with VPN. Other suggestions for preventing Reddit monetization? TY in advance!

      it makes one call to reddit to get the json file to display contents. Cloudflare’s anonymous analytics are used now but I am looking for an alternative.

        TY! There are a bunch of subreddits I’d like to be able to access, but without giving them clicks to monetize. I’m done with Reddit management, but there’s a lot of good people on the right subs, posting useful stuff.

      Lmao. You think VPN/Read-Only App prevents reddit monetization? You’re still participating engagement and metrics that are extremely valuable to Reddit.

      You’re like someone using fossil fuels asking if there are other suggestions for preventing global warming.

      You keep contributing to Reddit monetization and IPO unless you stop using reddit. Plenty of us lost communities that only exist on reddit and we have to live with that. Now y’all are wasting our efforts and giving Spez his profitable IPO

    Doesn’t work on Firefox “There can be multiple reasons for this, your browser’s aggresive privacy settings may be blocking the one call to reddit.com RDX makes. This happens usually when you use a VPM/Proxy and/or a privacy focused browser like Firefox.”

    Not using anything special, just uBlock which I disabled for it anyway.

    EDIT: Works on Firefox mobile! no more garbage reddit webapp

      Yes, you can add it to home screen on both android/ios and now mac too for an app-like experience.

    Is there a simple way to subscribe to a bunch of subs within rdx?

    I can’t seem to get the export reddit subs working in Chrome desktop per the app settings.

    Many thanks

      it just creates a json file

      [
        "announcements",
        "apolloapp",
        "dataisbeautiful",
        "gainit",
        "india",
        "shortcuts"
      ]
      

      like this you can create it by hand and save it with rdx_subs.json filename and then upload on the settings page

    Is there a way to have multiple users on one device with different lists of subscriptions? Or be able to toggle between different lists of subscriptions?

      If you use ios you can add the site multiple times to home screen for that, on android sadly chrome shares localstorage between browser and home screen apps.

    Thanks for making this!

    I can’t get the comments to open though. (Chrome on Android Pixel 6a)

    Edit: Don’t worry, I was clicking where it said comments instead of opening the post

        Since the API-apocalypse libreddit keep frequently telling me that I sent too many requests despite just clicking the site, so I’ll certainly use your site as my main reddit frontend from now on.

        Not having to use Javascript would’ve allowed me to access the site via proxy through the extremely limited free internet plan my provider give us, but staying away from reddit garbage front-end is already a big plus.

    Hello, I really like the UI, but the name of your website is too long to type. Also, it consists of two separate names, which redirect to two different websites (rdx.com and overdevs.com), meaning your website name is not good enough. It would be better if you used an alternate name, which is:

    • Concise. (reddit.com has a maximum of six characters.)
    • Attractive. (The name should sound beautiful so users are more likely to use your website.)
    • Familiar. (The name should have similarities with Reddit, so users will recognize that this website is just a different UI for Reddit and not a completely new website.)

    I apologize if I sounded too harsh when giving feedback.

      rdx.overdevs.com doesn’t redirect to two different websites, it’s a subdomain (which essentially functions just like any other domain).

      The name being long isn’t really a problem when most people just bookmark the sites they want to visit often and/or add the site to their home screen on mobile devices.

      Moreover, using an alternate domain would incur additional unnecessary yearly cost & time to renew. The less maintenance these types of projects need, the better it is usually for them to survive long term.

      I don’t like the name either and will ask for suggestions and change that but it doesn’t make two redirects. Why don’t you suggest one?
