If it's popular enough maybe. For now it's averaging 17-18k visits monthly so not even a drop in the ocean. But yeah i can't post the direct link to rdx on Reddit. I have to post Github link.

I am getting a blank page.
In the console:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.reddit.com/r/all/.json?limit=20' from origin 'https://rdx.overdevs.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
Tested with both ungoogled-chromium and firefox without cookies
There's an addon for Firefox to disable CORS for certain sites. Need to use that.
Same issue in safari iOS. I don’t want to use an extension for that.

Same for me. Won't use with a workaround, this should be fixed
I would love to fix this, most people who have this issue are using enhanced privacy/tracking protection settings that block the reddit url or have VPN/proxies turned on. Unfortunately reddit blocks that traffic in the guise of preventing spam/scrapping.
Now I can put up a server and bypass the traffic through my VPS and make the reddit content available to rdx(which libreddit used to do before reddit tightened their API). But soon enough they will ban my server, I will have to buy another and this keeps going on and on. That will be too much effort for too little gain.
However if there are already some servers that make the reddit JSON available through some proxy, I am all for adding it to the app. However I couldn't find anything that will even last a week.

It doesn't seem to work for me. When I put a sub in there I get a blank page.
Check the console of your browser. Browser's aggressive privacy controls may be automatically blocking the json call to reddit's api. (right click, inspect element)
Doesn’t work for me on mobile (IOS) too, unfortunately. I have adguard, firefox focus extensions on safari, and use Mullvad’s DNS blocking. I’ll have to go check which of them is breaking it, but I hope I won’t need to turn off anything huge for it to work. Either way, thanks for this, I’ve been using SinkIT for reddit to get a better mobile viewing experience, and this may be a better alternative.
It isn’t the browser being aggressive. It’s a protection called CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) and you should configure your API to allow it.
There are likely loads of guides whatever language / framework you are using. Users shouldn’t need to disable CORS protections to use your site

This is really cool but i'm not going back.
The only time I'll accept going to Reddit is when the information I'm searching for links there.

This is perfect! I lurk on mobile, and their mobile site is horrendous. I’ll be using this from now on!

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.

People are still interested in Reddit here?
Unfortunately some studios, companies, etc. use it as an official or semi-official forum. I still lurk on AMD's subreddit, for example.

What is a reddit?
An old social network, kind of like livejournal or digg.

Any reason I should use this over something like Stealth? Have to be honest with you, I've been using it for a good while and I can tell right away that it appears a better experience than this.
Also sorry if that is offensive, it's not my intention, I'm just bad at being polite sometimes...
Any reason I should use this over something like Stealth?
From my quick google search I can see that Stealth is an Android App ( i can't seem to find an iOS version) while rdx is a website you can fire up in any browser. if apps are your thing Stealth is certainly better. Anyway, Stealth and RDX both are open source and free. You can use whatever you like.

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 brings me to a conversation that I wish more people talked about: I'm totally fine with (and even like the concept of) anonymous analytics. It gives the website owner insight onto what the aggregate is doing, helping the website respond to demands.
But the problem is when the analytics providers themselves abuse that data and sell it in some way.

hmmm, doesn't seem to work ! I get a the layout but no content

Awesome.
Works on Brave but not LibreWolf for me, and does not work on either when using a VPN.
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.

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.

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=$0
Added code blocks for ya

This is absolutely amazing, the actual Reddit site is so buggy on mobile. half the time can't even get it to scroll or show more comments. this will circumvent the need for Reddit entirely when looking for specific or niche info. thanks for sharing!
Thank you!

Does rdx only support card style view or is there a way to toggle it to classic?
Does it require an account on reddit
Awesome!
Is it possible to collapse comments?
Edit: figured it out, double tap to collapse comments.

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.

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.
P.s. you have your markdown reversed with the links - the text needs to be in the square brackets with the link in the parentheses. [text](https://example.com)
Thanks, fixed them.
Nice! I still lurk on some communities which are only on reddit, thanks!
This is pretty rad, thank you!
Hey - thanks for doing this. There’s one sub for a specialty 3d printer I want to keep tabs on but the sub is “unreviewed“ and unavailable on the web as it may contain inappropriate content (it doesn’t, unless you count people bitching about component troubleshooting). It’s available on your gateway. It seems to bypass all content restrictions, convenient for mobile browsing.
