fuck reddit and all but i’m sure some of us use it for some very carefully curated hobby related stuff or maybe still browse TrueAnon or Deprogram, which are basically Hexbear rear-guard outposts
someone suggested RedReader as the last surviving android app that somehow still uses reddit’s old API.
so I grabbed it on F-Droid and
wow compared to browsing with firefox mobile + ublock it’s a game changer. quick, snappy, with rich features. took a minute to get used to the UI but it’s vastly superior to it’s predecessors
who knows how long it will use whatever backdoor it does
EDIT, FYI: it doesn’t seem to allow viewing of anything flagged NSFW despite granting permission. whatever API backdoor it uses won’t allow it. sucks because some useful non-horny subreddits are flagged NSFW just to protect them from bans

When they killed RIF is fun I decided I’ll never go back. And I won’t. Fuck
Reddit on browser is a shit experience which varies from annoying to unusable.
I use revanced sync, still works quite nicely. P sure other apps have compatability patches too
Gonna keep this one in mind. I’ve been using ReVanced’s patched version of Sync but it’s based on the last update from like April of last year. It’s only a matter of time before future updates start breaking stuff.
I was using redreader when the other apps were shut down. The person who made it said they tried to kill it too but there were complaints the new reddit app was impossible for blind people to use.
Also the new reddit didn’t have mod tools so all their big mods had to use redreader

I tested this out today. It has a real programmers interface but it sure its fast which is real nice.
I’m still using Joey whenever I feel the need to pop over and check on the subreddit I nominally mod.
Yeah, RedReader is what I use when I need to check in on a couple of subs. I’m not logging in tho.
Infinity also works, if you build it.
For normal non-programmer folk, the sub for it has a Top post which mentions a GCollab script to build it. There seems to be a gitlab script available on the net too. Do check the scripts tho.
