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...
rdx is a fast, lightweight mobile Web Viewer for Reddit. Reader for reddit.
I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.
Hey.... and if anyone is interested in a chrome extension to automatically redirect reddit links to this please tell me, I have made one and I am using it for myself for now, if people want it I will upload it to the extension store.
While you wait, I've found a solution which works perfectly for me. I use the firefox extension Redirector with these settings. Now I don't have to ignore every video on lemmit that's hosted on Reddit because I don't want to give them pageviews, I can just watch them on RDX instead! get all the Reddit content I want without ever actually visiting Reddit.
I use lemmit. That way the reddit content comes here to Lemmy, and I have everything I want here in one place. I just started using a browser plugin to redirect any links that direct to reddit from lemmit to direct to RDX instead. This was only an issue with some videos and stuff that were hosted on reddit, normal links would skip reddit completely by default with lemmit. Now with RDX, I can really avoid reddit altogether!
I was curious about this kind of idea. Isn't all reddit content owned by reddit, and isnt pasting their intellectual property onto a different platform not really super legal? (I fully support it)
Being able to extract all of the question/answer threads on reddit to boost the value of lemmy from a search index perspective seemed too good to be true as a solution.
Unless Reddit's TOS is vastly different from other social media sites, you keep ownership of your content and give them a perpetual license to host it on their site. That way, if you post something illegal, it's still your problem and not theirs.
That being said, copying non-link content is technically copyright infringement from the original poster. It'll probably never amount to anything.
Maybe too good to be true, but I'll ride that train to the end of the line! As for comments, it's not possible, and anyway, I think it's better to start our own conversations here.
thanks, I'm one of those who use your viewer! it makes viewing content much more bearable on mobile. I only wish there were a way to redirect all reddit links to your site on mobile.
It just sends one xhr request to reddit. Unless you have blocked reddit or disabled javascript it should work. Can you please right click > inspect element > console and paste the output here.

I've been using this since third party apps went down, thank you! Unfortunately videos haven't had audio in a while but I still much prefer it over the official site.
Also a way to export/import subscriptions would be helpful for use on other devices or browsers.
Awesome! I didn't mean exporting subscriptions from a reddit account but from rdx itself. I was thinking that the list of subscriptions that appears when you press the + button could be exportable if possible.
I cannot get the audio to work for videos. According to the network analyzer, it's because of 403 errors. This is only the case for all of the audio files.
