rdx for Reddit is an unofficial client for Reddit that provides free, fast and ad-free Reddit browsing. Here are some of the key features of the rdx for Reddit app.
1. Compact and Full post preview mode: You can view full size posts or a laid-back compact mode.
2. Native Video, GIF and Gallery supp…
Posting the update here because most of the users of RDX come from Lemmy community only.
Why?
A lot of users asked for a more polished viewer with more features and users in the EU now can not add web apps to home screen, so I spent some time building an iOS app. You can also save images and videos/gifs from Reddit now.
It’s stil completely free (with an optional donate option available), the web app also works.
I blocked Reddit via PiHole and configured Kagi to never show me Reddit results. When I left that cesspit, I spent a week running scripts to ensure all of my nearly 20 years worth of content was overwritten. I’m here because Reddit can DIAF.
How does this app work given the API costs? How does it manage to not deliver ads?
I ask because, while I’ve currently embargoed myself from Reddit, I’d like to have some details noted so I don’t fall in love with this and then get hurt again.
Thanks, subscribing without an account is exactly what I needed for some small communities not on Lemmy.
If you could add a feature to hide specific user’s comments (Automoderator), that’d be awesome.
On iPhone - Click on the photo, it will open an image viewer with share option on top, tap that, save photo,
If you are using iPad then I will add the feature in next update.
To save the GIFs on both iPhone and iPad tap the save icon below every video/gif post (it is just before the safari icon)
Please check the video downloader. It only downloads the video part and skips the audio part. Also is there a way to subscribe by specifying multi Reddit link??
Hi op, thanks for making this. My opinions of Reddit aside, this is a neat app.
Is it possible to open a link from Reddit in this app, maybe with a Safari extension? The mobile site is dogshit and, because old reddit threads often provide the most useful solutions, I sometimes find myself struggling against that unusable site.
I’d also suggest having collapsible sub groups separate from subscriptions, like Alien Blue did, since you have an AB reference in the colors. Back then, I liked having that so I could have groups for news, hobbies, etc. But without having to see the whole list. Seeing AB there reminded me of a lot of great features that app had.
Oh you noticed the Alien Blue reference, there is an Antenna reference too :)
Thing is apple doesn’t allow everyone to open apps from safari matching a url like Android, you have to manually verify the app on your domain. I will provide a bookmarklet that you can tap and open the url in rdx.
I can do the multireddit thing, maybe in next update.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !technology@lemmy.world
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
can you view nsfw posts? login? downvote or upvote?
yes, no no.

How do I save a subreddit?
Go to the subreddit, press the three bars icon on top right. Click subscribe.
Thanks! I started reading the list of options and just thought it was the usual “sort by” thing. Totally missed Subscribe at the bottom there :)

Yeah I will collapse automod by default in next update.
How do you save photos etc ?

How does RDX avoid using the Reddit API? I’ve used it a few times and was impressed on how fast it responded.
It’s read only.
Please check the video downloader. It only downloads the video part and skips the audio part. Also is there a way to subscribe by specifying multi Reddit link??
It was by design a GIF downloader(gifs don’t have sound) but works with videos also. Next update I will update it to include the audio too.
No.
Ty. Pls consider the subscribing via multi Reddit link

That would be phenomenal, thank you
