I am posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX came from this community only.

Multiple updates have been made to https://rdx.overdevs.com since I last posted here including:

  1. Importing subscriptions from Reddit
  2. Saving posts for later
  3. Share button
  4. hls/dash videos
  5. better search

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

    This is really cool, thank you for making it. I opened in Firefox on my Android and used the Install feature FF has, and it’s really slick.

    This is really cool but i’m not going back.

    The only time I’ll accept going to Reddit is when the information I’m searching for links there.

      That’s where I’ve been at as well, and even then I try other sources first since now many times comments are deleted. Mine included, lol

    Awesome.

    Works on Brave but not LibreWolf for me, and does not work on either when using a VPN.

    Awesome!

    Is it possible to collapse comments?

    Edit: figured it out, double tap to collapse comments.

      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.

      This is about the best thing I could have hoped for, so I really hope it doesn’t get taken down! (but then again, the for-profit Fandom wiki farm hasn’t taken down Breezewiki or other mirror sites yet, so maybe corporations figure this sort of thing isn’t worth the effort to take down.🤞

    I am getting a blank page.

    In the console:

    P.s. you have your markdown reversed with the links - the text needs to be in the square brackets with the link in the parentheses. [text](https://example.com)

    This is absolutely amazing, the actual Reddit site is so buggy on mobile. half the time can’t even get it to scroll or show more comments. this will circumvent the need for Reddit entirely when looking for specific or niche info. thanks for sharing!

    I’ve been selfhosting this for months, it works great. Only thing is that most of the time I scroll through the same post like 20 times a day, i don’t know why.

      One reason could be you being subscribed to a dead subreddit. See what it does when you subscribe to subreddits is create a Multireddit of all the subs. Now if a dead sub’s last post was some months ago t will keep showing in the feed until you unsubscribe.

        I isually browse Popular or All, and it mostly happen when I click on Next Page. I’ll try unsuscribing from all the subs.

    Hey - thanks for doing this. There’s one sub for a specialty 3d printer I want to keep tabs on but the sub is “unreviewed“ and unavailable on the web as it may contain inappropriate content (it doesn’t, unless you count people bitching about component troubleshooting). It’s available on your gateway. It seems to bypass all content restrictions, convenient for mobile browsing.

      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.
