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.

I was using infinity to browse every now and then. Infinity stopped working last night too. I thought it was my VPN, as sometimes that was the case. Ah well, looks like I’m only using Lemmy and Piefed from here on in. With a few dedicated other forums. Thankfully the Lemmy community has already grown a lot.
