I get what you are saying, just pushed an update to Apple with the new compact mode. Android soon.

Thank you for checking out the app.

Reddit limitations :(

Since both left and right swipes(to go back and forward) work already it will be messy to implement that.

Yes I will add some seasonal themes for sure.

In next updates.

It is by default sorted by “best” which takes some time to show new posts.

Yes that’s the web app. You can install from play store now, it has many new features.

tap the three bars on top left > Refresh

I will fix it in the next update. Are you on the latest version?

95% of the features are same on iOS and Android.

It’s read-only.

There are multiple light and dark themes already available in Settings > Appearance. Will add a full theme customiser as a vanity feature somewhere in the future.

Try tapping around the import button(like 1-2cm up/down where the import button is). Are you able to hit the cancel button?

I am happy to answer them.

Why post on lemmy when you can post it on Reddit? Increased visibility?

Because a lot of contributors and users when the web app launched a year ago were from Lemmy only. A lot of lemmy users use rdx on iOS or web app to lurk on the niche subs that haven’t made it to lemmy yet. Also when I launched the iOS version so many of the users here asked me to let them know when I launch an Android version. I have linked one such thread in the first line of my post.

Why use this instead of RedReader?

1. RedReader afaik was only available only Android while rdx is available everywhere(it’s a pwa too).
2. Better Media viewing, although not as accessible as RedReader I made it initially to mimic some Apollo features like fast subreddit switching etc.
3. Read-Only so focuses on lurking on Reddit only, no way to login. Some people consider this a feature as this saves them time.

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.

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.

Yeah I will collapse automod by default in next update.

yes, no no.

It’s read only.

Go to the subreddit, press the three bars icon on top right. Click subscribe.

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)

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?

Just added themes to RDX so you can style it your way (colors and fonts).

double tap any comment to collapse

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.

Firefox has enhanced privacy protection that block loading of the single reddit json file.

NSFW is enabled by default, just go to any nsfw sub you know for and click allow this content.

Just scroll to the end of the first page? The link is there just below the Buy Me A Coffee banner.

All is explained here - https://rdx.overdevs.com/settings.html if you need any help even then you can reply to this comment.

For now yeah. I will add a compact/classic view toggle in the next update.

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

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.

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.

Nope. It doesn’t require an account anywhere.
