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.

      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
