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

    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?

    Is it correct this is only a web app?

    Thanks looks good

    This is really nice! It needs a way to view r/all though.

    Thank you!

    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 rdx 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

    Does it work without Javascript ?

    Sadly no. For that you can look into one of the many libreddit instances.

    Since the API-apocalypse libreddit kept 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.

    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

    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.
