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

    Gonna keep this one in mind. I’ve been using ReVanced’s patched version of Sync but it’s based on the last update from like April of last year. It’s only a matter of time before future updates start breaking stuff.
