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

rdx is a fast, lightweight mobile Web Viewer for Reddit. Reader 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.

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 removedin! Similar to the “open in Apollo” extension Christian made to open reddit links in the Apollo app.

Dang. Was super cool while it lasted! Seems like it’s been cut off from content. Great job on it otherwise

Neat product. I wonder if I can self host in docker….might have to give that a whirl soon.

How does it work with the current api changes? Lmao
- Reddit has a read only json and rss feed.

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?

Web scraper?
- Reddit has a read only json and rss feed. Looks like it is using that.

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.

Great, thanks!
