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

rdx.overdevs.com

rdx - A Lightweight mobile Web Viewer for Reddit

You can't login or anything but it's good for viewing posts and media and you can switch subreddits easily by clicking on the page title in the center like Apollo. Also it's on Github.

Mmhm.. I kind of want reddit to die
- There are still a few communities which haven't migrated.
  
  Let’s be part of the change we want to see. It’s hard to start a small community from fresh, and many are going to fail, but damn am I going to try.
Ya, I'm not going back, I wrestled with deleting my content or not for weeks. Decided last night to wipe my history and today I deleted my 12yo account.
Good riddance, not gonna browse in any fashion logged in or not. No clicks from me.
- sorry, I don't log into my .world account often. I used a script that was floating around during the original drama. I'm not sure if it's still possible to effectively delete all your data now.
I love it! Thanks for the awesome work, I starred on GitHub :)
This paired with a browser extension that can open or rewrite reddit links would be bitchin! Similar to the “open in Apollo” extension Christian made to open reddit links in the Apollo app.
- In a week most probably.
Looks great! But one issue I encountered. I can't click on 'next page' because it is covered up by my tablet's on-screen buttons at the bottom. Maybe add some white space at the bottom?
Neat little tool. Any way I can go to /r/all?
- It's the default but you can click on the little "+" icon and go to r/all or click on "rdx" and start typing the subreddit name and click on suggestions.
  
  Dude I book marked this. It's really impressive. Idk what goes into making something like this but it's great. Light weight and fast. Gonna help me keep in touch with some niche communities while alternatives grow. Simply awesome.
How does it work with the current api changes? Lmao
- Reddit has a read only json and rss feed.
Neat product. I wonder if I can self host in docker….might have to give that a whirl soon.
Web scraper?
- Reddit has a read only json and rss feed. Looks like it is using that.
Great, thanks!
