For those who lurk on Reddit - my read-only, ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is better than ever now

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

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?

overdevs OP ,

All is explained here - https://rdx.overdevs.com/settings.html if you need any help even then you can reply to this comment.

I'm having trouble with the bookmarklet. Is there any other way to get an export of my subs or get the expected format for ingestion?

People are still interested in Reddit here?

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

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!

overdevs OP ,

Update: Added themes to RDX so you can style it your way (colors and fonts).

Any reason I should use this over something like Stealth? Have to be honest with you, I've been using it for a good while and I can tell right away that it appears a better experience than this.

Also sorry if that is offensive, it's not my intention, I'm just bad at being polite sometimes...

Awesome!

Is it possible to collapse comments?

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

Awesome!

Quick question, is it possible to open a reddit link in RDX?

For example a reddit link from Google search results.

overdevs OP ,

Thank you so much. Also you can use any browser redirect extension to redirect reddit links to rdx. match https://www.reddit.com/r/(.*)/comments/(.*) redirect to - https://rdx.overdevs.com/comments.html?url=$0

waratchess ,

Awesome, thanks!

That makes searching reddit usable again.

So, are spez and his goons gonna come after you now?

overdevs OP ,

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.

Pengilly ,

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.🤞

It doesn't seem to work for me. When I put a sub in there I get a blank page.

The „buy me a coffee“ link seems to work, though…

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