Apparently Reddit has a bot problem, not the bots posting and replying but the ones scraping so Reddit is a little bit usable. When Reddit blocked API access 3 years ago I built and launched https://rdx.overdevs.com/ a read-only, open source Reddit website and app.

I have been bombarded with comments and mails asking why it is not working now, and the reason is this. Reddit has blocked JSON endpoint to access whatever limited data it allowed to acceess and is thinking of blocking RSS feeds.

    If they block RSS feeds, it’s entirely dead to me at that point

    The only interaction I have with Reddit these days is via a feed reader for literally one subreddit as a freebie/deal checker for audio software (AudioProductionDeals, I wish batwaffel would crosspost to the fediverse)
