RDX for Reddit - Reddit Viewer
rdx.overdevs.com
rdx for reddit is a fast, lightweight mobile Web Viewer for Reddit app based on Apollo. Mobile friendly reader for Reddit. Browse rdx for reddit app without Ads.

Rdx is a free Reddit reader that emerged after the API controversy. It was always limited - couldn’t post, couldn’t login, but utilized a hidden feature of reddit - you could just add .JSON to the end of a subreddit url and get the content back in in a useful format for an app like RDX to ingest.

From the RDX developer:

Last night reddit disabled JSON feeds that is affecting your usage of rdx website and app. I am trying to find ways to fix this. Maybe I can fix the apps using some workaround, maybe I can’t but I will try. You can keep the apps or get the apps from app stores.

Thanks for your support for RDX for over 3 years. A small project that reached millions of people.

    I use rdx and noticed this yesterday. I know the rdx dev is here on lemmy as well but I forgot his username.

    Edit: PSA, the search function on the app still works, so you can still navigate to a specific sub, but you’ll have to know the exact name because auto-complete doesn’t work there.

        tbh I’m surprised they haven’t killed it off the way they’ve done with everything else; but when it is done, I’ll stop lurking over there.

          Thought someone said, perhaps with no proof, that a great deal of content comes from old users and they didn’t want to cut that off obviously.

          Same story here though. Old goes and I go.

            Same. If old. goes, reddit is dead to me. I don’t know how anyone can stand the absolute clusterfuck that is “new” reddit.

          I don’t go on reddit often but I do check my old subscribed subreddits occasionally and if they killed old reddit I’d be gone. I don’t interact or see ads though so I guess they wouldn’t care about losing me

      Oh that’s interesting, proves that they don’t even look at it anymore. Might fix the issue with one of my scripts. Otherwise I can’t be bothered to add oauth to it.

    I was able to use an app called Nara until just recently. It was read-only in free mode, but at least I could browse and read reddit without their own dogshit app. I wonder if this is related.
