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
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
