Posting the update here because most of the users of RDX come from Lemmy community only.
Why?
A lot of users asked for a more polished viewer with more features and users in the EU now can not add web apps to home screen, so I spent some time building an iOS app. You can also save images and videos/gifs from Reddit now. It's stil completely free (with an optional donate option available), the web app also works.
You can download the app here

Why does using a VPN break it?
Reddit is aggressively blocking VPNs.
That’s a Reddit issue; Reddit has been blocking anyone who is on a VPN but not logged in. Because they want to aggressively track your telemetry data, but a VPN makes that more difficult. So they force VPN users to sign in, so they can still track those users.
OK good to know thank you. I’m located in China, so they block it locally, so I can’t view it from either side, then. (I’m sure there is a way around it somehow)
Reddit’s way around it is simple: Log in. Because if you’re logged in, they can associate all of your traffic with that account, thus making any VPN privacy protections essentially null. But lurking viewers (like the one in this post) will have a more difficult time with that, because it requires actually signing in.
