There’s still some subreddits I’d like to view as their communities haven’t swapped over yet. Like you guys, I obviously don’t want to support Reddit in any way shape or form. Surprisingly, they have not gutted RSS feeds yet. Simply add .rss at the end of the domain. Example
https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA
becomes:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA.rss
Which now works from your RSS reader, sees not ads, and can view without logging in. This also works in nsfw subreddits and apparently now “unverified” subreddits now. Depending on your RSS reader, it should also be able to grab images from posts as well. This bypass seems like an oversight for now, as this doesn’t work from the API. Remember: Reddit can still go fuck themselves.
Another small PSA: This works for Lemmy communities as well!
Small things, just prefer the UX. If I swipe back on Read you, I lose my place and it’s just a bit annoying having to scroll down, so Feeder feels better to me.
Though a big difference that does put Feeder ahead is the read mode. Basically it fetches the web page and grabs the raw html from it so you can just read the text without having to open the webpage. It’s a much nicer reading experience. Also individual feeds I can set to open to reader mode custom tabs, full browser, etc.
