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:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.reddit.com/r/all/.json?limit=20' from origin 'https://rdx.overdevs.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
Tested with both ungoogled-chromium and firefox without cookies
There's an addon for Firefox to disable CORS for certain sites. Need to use that.
Same issue in safari iOS. I don’t want to use an extension for that.

Same for me. Won't use with a workaround, this should be fixed
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.

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.

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

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?
All is explained here - https://rdx.overdevs.com/settings.html if you need any help even then you can reply to this comment.
Thanks for the reply :) Do you know if it is possible to access the settings page after adding the site to the home screen on iOS? Importing the subscriptions in the browser and then adding the page to the home screen does not seem to transfer the subscriptions unfortunately.
Just scroll to the end of the first page? The link is there just below the Buy Me A Coffee banner.
Ah there it is! Sorry, I must have gotten so used to apps having “infinite scroll” that I didn’t even consider to look at the bottom of the page. Thanks a bunch!

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.
Well it's a choice between freedom or corporate control. Freedom is never flashy at first, it only thrives when people embrace it.
Well cheers to reddit for having a bad UI then, we love having you here.
I really hope Lemmy grows out to also fill in the small inactive communities, a social media without corporate incentives to milk out the users has so much potential.
Reddit has way more shallow poorly developed calls for the end of Capitalism.
Reddit also has enough large communities that I don't need to participate in the communities I don't like. With lemmy, it's either small communities or the constant braindead takes.

Unfortunately some studios, companies, etc. use it as an official or semi-official forum. I still lurk on AMD's subreddit, for example.
Which is funny when you compare it to the early days of Reddit, where people associated with a product were specifically prohibited from being in charge of their subreddit. It was to prevent the people who make a product from silencing criticism. Like if there’s a TV show, the show runners and studio weren’t allowed to moderate the community. If the show is hot garbage, the studio couldn’t use mods to silence the criticism via post/comment deletion, bans, etc… The entire point was for the subs to be run by the people who consume said product.
But that has been entirely flipped, where there are official subs run by corporate PR firms.
Yeah. Lemmy is tiny and doesn't have the community to be good yet.
I'm happy to be in both places for now, Reddit for more in-depth and interesting conversations. Lemmy is getting there but there's many times when posts in my hobbies have no replies or 1 or 2. The community just isn't there unless I want a glorified news rss feed.
Curious, why the cloudflare analytics?
I wanted to see how many people are using this, the analytics are anonymous. I will switch it to a better privacy friendly analytics service soon.
This brings me to a conversation that I wish more people talked about: I'm totally fine with (and even like the concept of) anonymous analytics. It gives the website owner insight onto what the aggregate is doing, helping the website respond to demands.
But the problem is when the analytics providers themselves abuse that data and sell it in some way.

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...
Any reason I should use this over something like Stealth?
From my quick google search I can see that Stealth is an Android App ( i can't seem to find an iOS version) while rdx is a website you can fire up in any browser. if apps are your thing Stealth is certainly better. Anyway, Stealth and RDX both are open source and free. You can use whatever you like.

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!
Thank you!

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.
I don't think that's not the app, that's reddit normally.
Even on a browser, I see multiple instances of the same post.

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.

Awesome!
Is it possible to collapse comments?
Edit: figured it out, double tap to collapse comments.

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.

So uh any plans for nsfw browsing? i liked browsing random or multiple nsfw subs
NSFW is enabled by default, just go to any nsfw sub you know for and click allow this content.
Awesome.
Works on Brave but not LibreWolf for me, and does not work on either when using a VPN.
Nice! I still lurk on some communities which are only on reddit, thanks!
This is pretty rad, thank you!
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.
Will there be a .onion version?
The biggest feature I missed when they killed libreddit
I will have to figure that one out, may take some time. Or if you already know how to put some html pages on an onion server you can copy the files from Github and upload them yourselves, I will link to it happily.
When I opened in my lemmy client (aka works in safari for iOS) it loaded just fine but posts don’t seem to populate when I open in Firefox/firefox focus
Infinite scroll would be a nice optional too

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)
