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

Image

  1. Compact mode (smaller thumbnails, faster loading) is here,
  2. Infinite Scrolling is here. If that's your thing enable it from the settings page.
  3. All GIFs now load faster than ever.
  4. OP's comments are labelled.
  5. New themes and fonts. (not just the default dark and white, go colorful)

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.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 4 points 9 months ago

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

[-] overdevs@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 1 points 9 months ago

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

Why is this getting red arrowed?

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I stopped wondering those things haha. But likely because I'm on a reddit pro sub bashing the app for being part of the problem.

[-] Teanut@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

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?

[-] overdevs@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] Midi@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[-] hightrix@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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

Thank you!

[-] overdevs@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

That's the default

[-] hightrix@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Ahh. Yes, yes it is. I blame lack of coffee :)

Thank you. Nice work!

[-] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[-] overdevs@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Is it correct this is only a web app?

Thanks looks good

[-] overdevs@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

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

[-] 13esq@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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

[-] overdevs@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

should add a link there too. Edit: done

[-] 13esq@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Thanks!

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 9 months ago

Does it work without Javascript ?

[-] overdevs@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

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

[-] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.
