I am posting the updates here because most of the users of RDX came from this community only.
Multiple updates have been made to https://rdx.overdevs.com since I last posted here including:
- Importing subscriptions from Reddit
- Saving posts for later
- Share button
- hls/dash videos
- better search

Very nice! Thanks for creating this. I miss some of the subreddits I used to subscribe to.
How do I import subscriptions from Reddit on RDX?
All is explained here - https://rdx.overdevs.com/settings.html if you need any help even then you can reply to this comment.
Thanks for the reply :) Do you know if it is possible to access the settings page after adding the site to the home screen on iOS? Importing the subscriptions in the browser and then adding the page to the home screen does not seem to transfer the subscriptions unfortunately.
Just scroll to the end of the first page? The link is there just below the Buy Me A Coffee banner.
Ah there it is! Sorry, I must have gotten so used to apps having “infinite scroll” that I didn’t even consider to look at the bottom of the page. Thanks a bunch!
Just added themes to RDX so you can style it your way (colors and fonts).

This is perfect! I lurk on mobile, and their mobile site is horrendous. I’ll be using this from now on!
You can add it to your homescreen and then the navigation bar stays fixed so it’s easier to navigate that way. Also it uses localstorage to save your settings/subs etc and ios clears the localstorage after 7 days of the last visit to any website. Adding to homescreen prevents that too, on Android localstorage is saved permanently.

People are still interested in Reddit here?
If Reddit had a good UI I would return in a heartbeat. I’m sick of small, practically inactive communities for hobbies and these shallow, poorly developed calls for the end of capitalism being shoved down my throat.
Well cheers to reddit for having a bad UI then, we love having you here.
I really hope Lemmy grows out to also fill in the small inactive communities, a social media without corporate incentives to milk out the users has so much potential.
Well it’s a choice between freedom or corporate control. Freedom is never flashy at first, it only thrives when people embrace it.
Is this a popular opinion? I’m sort of shocked at the amount of upvotes this got tbh. Lemmy fulfills my reddit cravings, and honestly feels like a more mature community to me
Yeah. Lemmy is tiny and doesn’t have the community to be good yet.
I’m happy to be in both places for now, Reddit for more in-depth and interesting conversations. Lemmy is getting there but there’s many times when posts in my hobbies have no replies or 1 or 2. The community just isn’t there unless I want a glorified news rss feed.
Curious, why the cloudflare analytics?
I wanted to see how many people are using this, the analytics are anonymous. I will switch it to a better privacy friendly analytics service soon.
This is wonderful! I occasionally go back out of curiosity (aka to confirm it’s still trash) but refuse to engage. I’d hoped I could find an extension that would prevent accidentally upvoting or commenting. This is much better. I’d give you gold but “we don’t do that here.”
Kudos, Dev!
Thank you so much. Also you can use any browser redirect extension to redirect reddit links to rdx. match https://www.reddit.com/r/(.*)/comments/(.*) redirect to - https://rdx.overdevs.com/comments.html?url=$0
match
https://www.reddit.com/r/(.*)/comments/(.*)redirect to -
https://rdx.overdevs.com/comments.html?url=$0Added code blocks for ya
Thanks, I am lazy.
Added themes to RDX so you can style it your way (colours and fonts).
Dude, get out of my head. I’d just been on and stumbled onto themes while looking for a way to better format for desktop. Love the addition.
Was just on my way here to pull you leg and say you’re single-handedly responsible for my consuming large amounts of Reddit content again.
Haha!
looking for a way to better format for desktop What are you looking for? more content on the desktop. The width of the content is fixed to 500 now because that’s good enough to read on larger monitors. Thinking of making it 700px. Any other suggestions?
I’ve been selfhosting this for months, it works great. Only thing is that most of the time I scroll through the same post like 20 times a day, i don’t know why.
I don’t think that’s not the app, that’s reddit normally.
Even on a browser, I see multiple instances of the same post.
Thanks for the info, glad to know it’s not just me.
One reason could be you being subscribed to a dead subreddit. See what it does when you subscribe to subreddits is create a Multireddit of all the subs. Now if a dead sub’s last post was some months ago t will keep showing in the feed until you unsubscribe.
I isually browse Popular or All, and it mostly happen when I click on Next Page. I’ll try unsuscribing from all the subs.
So uh any plans for nsfw browsing? i liked browsing random or multiple nsfw subs
NSFW is enabled by default, just go to any nsfw sub you know for and click allow this content.
This is really cool, thank you for making it. I opened in Firefox on my Android and used the Install feature FF has, and it’s really slick.
Thank you for your kind words!
Does it require an account on reddit
Nope. It doesn’t require an account anywhere.
When I opened in my lemmy client (aka works in safari for iOS) it loaded just fine but posts don’t seem to populate when I open in Firefox/firefox focus
Infinite scroll would be a nice optional too

For now, you can go to the settings page and change the number of posts displayed per page.
Ah that’s helpful! Any thoughts on why it doesn’t work on a vpn?
Edit: I see in another comment that it’s Reddit that blocks vpn traffic. I’ve noticed that lately, lame
Firefox has enhanced privacy protection that block loading of the single reddit json file.
Does rdx only support card style view or is there a way to toggle it to classic?
For now yeah. I will add a compact/classic view toggle in the next update.
Any plans to allow for comment collapsing? It’s difficult to jump from parent to parent without a ton of scrolling. Love it so far
double tap any comment to collapse
I see that now. Actually just came here to retract my request. Thanks!
I think it’s intuitive yet it took me a little bit to realize it was possible

i like this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=yy.offlinereader&pli=1
I have geddit and my issue is it loads r/popular and can’t show r/all.
If yours shows all I’m in.
It by default shows r/all OR https://rdx.overdevs.com/subreddit.html?r=all and tap the sort button(three lines) button on the right, hit subscribe.
