I was asked to post here. cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/18458440
Since a lot of you asked me to build an Android version and post about it here when I launch, and I sincerely apologise that I forgot to post on lemmy sooner. The free app was launched on Play store almost a month ago and has garnered some excellent reviews. It has feature parity with the iPhone App and works on all Android 8.0+ devices.
You can download the app here.
Any feedback is wholeheartedly welcome, you can also post issues and contribute to the rdx web app on Github.
I’m confused. I thought we were all here because reddit killed 3rd party software such as this? Did the api decision get reversed or something?
This tool works around the recent API limitations by not actually using the API at all—it scrapes the actual JSON pages that constitute Reddit in order to present you with posts, comments, and media in a super clean format—a streamlined version of Reddit that loads instantly, even if you can’t post (or interact with posts) while using it.
What’s the point of you can’t interact?
Lurking content should you find Lemmy lacking.
I’ll just do that in Firefox with ublock then. At least I can interact if I wanted then.
Browsing posts, silly.
They did say: Reddit VIEWER
Hey I have noticed occasional updates that have been great! I am curious if you would consider adding a sorting by controversial? Keep up the good work though! It’s been nice just getting to see what’s going on at Reddit without supporting them.
Done. Will push the update to play store tomorrow.
Any fix for the repeating post issue? I’ve attached a pic. This is on my Samsung s22 ultra. Videos sometimes have issues too where they’ll play then the video freezes while the sounds and stuff still continue playing.
Oh you use compact mode? You will love the 1.5 update just arrived on Play Store. About the repeating posts issue unfortunately it’s reddit side problem [1] [2] the other issue where you play a video and the audio keeps playing could most probably be a buffering or memory issue(I haven’t encountered one on Android yet) but if you do encounter it next time please screen record and send me if you can.
Ok!
Pass. I didn’t leave reddit just because I wanted to get around it later using scraping and workarounds.
I’m here as long as it remains open. I enjoy the people here more too
