Posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX come from lemmy community only.

  1. Compact mode (smaller thumbnails, faster loading) is here,
  2. Infinite Scrolling is here. If that’s your thing enable it from the settings page.
  3. All GIFs now load faster than ever.
  4. OP’s comments are labelled.
  5. New themes and fonts. (not just the default dark and white, go colorful)

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…

If you want to lurk on Reddit, you can use this web reader I built for myself when I got inspired by the Apollo app years ago

Thank you! This is immensely helpful. There are a few subreddits or some other information that I need occasionally.

Is RDX privacy friendly? Obviously use it with VPN. Other suggestions for preventing Reddit monetization? TY in advance!

it makes one call to reddit to get the json file to display contents. Cloudflare’s anonymous analytics are used now but I am looking for an alternative.

TY! There are a bunch of subreddits I’d like to be able to access, but without giving them clicks to monetize. I’m done with Reddit management, but there’s a lot of good people on the right subs, posting useful stuff.

Lmao. You think VPN/Read-Only App prevents reddit monetization? You’re still participating engagement and metrics that are extremely valuable to Reddit.

You’re like someone using fossil fuels asking if there are other suggestions for preventing global warming.

You keep contributing to Reddit monetization and IPO unless you stop using reddit. Plenty of us lost communities that only exist on reddit and we have to live with that. Now y’all are wasting our efforts and giving Spez his profitable IPO

I stopped wondering those things haha. But likely because I’m on a reddit pro sub bashing the app for being part of the problem.

Is there a way to have multiple users on one device with different lists of subscriptions? Or be able to toggle between different lists of subscriptions?

If you use ios you can add the site multiple times to home screen for that, on android sadly chrome shares localstorage between browser and home screen apps.

Is there a simple way to subscribe to a bunch of subs within rdx?

I can’t seem to get the export reddit subs working in Chrome desktop per rdx app settings.

Many thanks

it just creates a json file

[
  "announcements",
  "apolloapp",
  "dataisbeautiful",
  "gainit",
  "india",
  "shortcuts"
]

like this you can create it by hand and save it with rdx_subs.json filename and then upload on the settings page
