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.

      it works in the browser but I keep getting 403’s when trying with cURL or Python requests or Powershell. My usual goto of spoofing my browser’s user agent in the header doesn’t work either.

        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.
