This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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 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.
It doesn't seem to work for me. When I put a sub in there I get a blank page.
Check the console of your browser. Browser's aggressive privacy controls may be automatically blocking the json call to reddit's api. (right click, inspect element)
It isn’t the browser being aggressive. It’s a protection called CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) and you should configure your API to allow it.
There are likely loads of guides whatever language / framework you are using. Users shouldn’t need to disable CORS protections to use your site
Doesn’t work for me on mobile (IOS) too, unfortunately. I have adguard, firefox focus extensions on safari, and use Mullvad’s DNS blocking. I’ll have to go check which of them is breaking it, but I hope I won’t need to turn off anything huge for it to work. Either way, thanks for this, I’ve been using SinkIT for reddit to get a better mobile viewing experience, and this may be a better alternative.
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.
This is perfect! I lurk on mobile, and their mobile site is horrendous. I’ll be using this from now on!
You can add it to your homescreen and then the navigation bar stays fixed so it's easier to navigate that way. Also it uses localstorage to save your settings/subs etc and ios clears the localstorage after 7 days of the last visit to any website. Adding to homescreen prevents that too, on Android localstorage is saved permanently.
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.
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 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.
Well it's a choice between freedom or corporate control. Freedom is never flashy at first, it only thrives when people embrace it.
Reddit has way more shallow poorly developed calls for the end of Capitalism.
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.
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.
What is a reddit?
An old social network, kind of like livejournal or digg.
Awesome.
Works on Brave but not LibreWolf for me, and does not work on either when using a VPN.
It literally just makes one API call to fetch the data from reddit, that could have been blocked by privacy settings of your browser. You can look at the browser console for more information.
Reddit these days tries to detect hosting services and VPNs and blocks certain API calls from them.
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!
This is wonderful! I occasionally go back out of curiosity (aka to confirm it’s still trash) but refuse to engage. I’d hoped I could find an extension that would prevent accidentally upvoting or commenting. This is much better. I’d give you gold but “we don’t do that here.”
Kudos, Dev!
Thank you so much. Also you can use any browser redirect extension to redirect reddit links to rdx. match https://www.reddit.com/r/(.)/comments/(.) redirect to - https://rdx.overdevs.com/comments.html?url=$0
match
https://www.reddit.com/r/(.*)/comments/(.*)
redirect to -
https://rdx.overdevs.com/comments.html?url=$0
Added code blocks for ya
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.
Does rdx only support card style view or is there a way to toggle it to classic?
For now yeah. I will add a compact/classic view toggle in the next update.
Does it require an account on reddit
Awesome!
Is it possible to collapse comments?
Edit: figured it out, double tap to collapse comments.
Just a double tap(mobile) or double click(pc) would do that. I know it's annoying when copying text on desktop, I will add a fix for that.
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)
Thanks, fixed them.
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.
