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.
Oh, this explains why infinity stopped working yesterday. I kept tinkering with my phone settings to no avail. I looked the project’s github issues and saw no open issue so I thought it is on my end.
Are they struggling to roll-in new users for them to go after scraps ??
