I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

    I would if lemmy was even close to an actual replacement.

    Basically every community that doesn't have > 1,000,000 subscribers on Reddit?

    Have you even used Lemmy for anything except meme reposts?

    My subscribed feed has top posts from days ago. Specific communities like virtual reality or mountain biking or classical guitar are basically empty.

    That said I don't use reddit and consider my boutique feed a sacrifice to the internet gods until lemmy has more population.

    There just are no alternatives to some things on there. So I'm stuck having to check in at least once every day.

    "Having to"? Sounds like addiction tbh.

    Hey.... and if anyone is interested in a chrome extension to automatically redirect reddit links to this please tell me, I have made one and I am using it for myself for now, if people want it I will upload it to the extension store.

    I use lemmit. That way the reddit content comes here to Lemmy, and I have everything I want here in one place. I just started using a browser plugin to redirect any links that direct to reddit from lemmit to direct to RDX instead. This was only an issue with some videos and stuff that were hosted on reddit, normal links would skip reddit completely by default with lemmit. Now with RDX, I can really avoid reddit altogether!

    I was curious about this kind of idea. Isn't all reddit content owned by reddit, and isnt pasting their intellectual property onto a different platform not really super legal? (I fully support it)

    Being able to extract all of the question/answer threads on reddit to boost the value of lemmy from a search index perspective seemed too good to be true as a solution.

    Unless Reddit's TOS is vastly different from other social media sites, you keep ownership of your content and give them a perpetual license to host it on their site. That way, if you post something illegal, it's still your problem and not theirs.

    That being said, copying non-link content is technically copyright infringement from the original poster. It'll probably never amount to anything.

    What is the advantage of your viewer over a regular browser?

    No content is loading for me

    It just sends one xhr request to reddit. Unless you have blocked reddit or disabled javascript it should work. Can you please right click > inspect element > console and paste the output here.

    Using Firefox with private browsing, I get this:

    Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.reddit.com/r/all/.json?limit=20. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).
    The resource at “https://www.reddit.com/r/all/.json?limit=20” was blocked because content blocking is enabled. rdx.overdevs.com
    

    Works fine in normal mode though.

    thanks, I'm one of those who use your viewer! it makes viewing content much more bearable on mobile. I only wish there were a way to redirect all reddit links to your site on mobile.

    I've been using this since third party apps went down, thank you! Unfortunately videos haven't had audio in a while but I still much prefer it over the official site.

    Also a way to export/import subscriptions would be helpful for use on other devices or browsers.

    Relay (the last 3rd party app, I believe) still works too. They were supposed to start charging but I check in every once in awhile – because unfortunately it's still one of the best websites to get an honest answer to a question written by a human – and I haven't paid a cent.

    Doesn’t this just direct traffic to Reddit? Why do you want to do that?

    Indirectly? yes. But there are some subs like r/progresspics r/gainit etc that haven't moved to other platforms and have good content on them related to the niche the serve. Also the occasional google search that takes you to reddit.

    I cannot get the audio to work for videos. According to the network analyzer, it's because of 403 errors. This is only the case for all of the audio files.
