I posted about that here and forgot < https://lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

Stop using Reddit
I would if lemmy was even close to an actual replacement.
What is it missing?
Basically every community that doesn’t have > 1,000,000 subscribers on Reddit?
Because I want Lemmy to succeed and grow, I’m making a real effort to contribute to discussions where previously I’d have just thought things to myself and moved on. I really hope more people do the same so we can start to sustain those more niche forums.
That’s too many subscribers anyway. 90% of the comments would’ve just been buried and no one would’ve seen them
Yes, 100 to 200 comments per thread are easily enough, but lots of medium sized subreddits don’t even exist or are barely active on Lemmy.

My subscribed feed has top posts from days ago. Specific communities like virtual reality or mountain biking or classical guitar are basically empty.
That said I don’t use reddit and consider my boutique feed a sacrifice to the internet gods until lemmy has more population.
There just are no alternatives to some things on there. So I’m stuck having to check in at least once every day.
“Having to”? Sounds like addiction tbh.
Some people use it for more than just entertainment and killing time. Like getting advice on certain topics like parenting or relationships. How to deal with a partner with certain conditions etc. You can’t find that on lemmy.
If you have to check parenting advice on reddit every day, you shouldn’t have had children in the first place.
Yeah, well maybe today it’s parenting, tomorrow it’s about struggles during meditation, next day it’s about a certain video game, then astronomy etc. And then the cycle repeats. There are thousands of topics where you can find huge communities on reddit and virtually none on lemmy. I haven’t been on reddit since July but I still miss it. I’m patient and hope that in a few years lemmy has grown enough to sustain niche topics.
Because Reddit is the only place those communities exist, right?
I like how the other comments to you are essentially: “I use it” and “it is good”

Did you expect the fedi to be more popular? Lol
Hey… and if anyone is interested in a chrome extension to automatically redirect reddit links to this please tell me, I have made one and I am using it for myself for now, if people want it I will upload it to the extension store.
Definitely upload it.
yes please!
Redirection extensions exist

probably shouldnt advertise it too much, increasing traffic and thus making it a target for reddit to make it stop working
What is the advantage of your viewer over a regular browser?
No reddit popups, ads, banners, faster, easier, only focuses on the content.
An application for every website. Each “focusing on the content”. All that does is move the browsing to the OS.
thanks, I’m one of those who use your viewer! it makes viewing content much more bearable on mobile. I only wish there were a way to redirect all reddit links to your site on mobile.
No content is loading for me
It just sends one xhr request to reddit. Unless you have blocked reddit or disabled javascript it should work. Can you please right click > inspect element > console and paste the output here.
I haven’t blocked reddit and can access it just fine. I’m not sure how to inspect the source on Firefox mobile though.
Please if you can share the details of your device and browser, i will look into it and fix it.
Neither for me, just a blank page with a header.
Can you please right click > inspect element > console and paste the output here.
I’ve been using this since third party apps went down, thank you! Unfortunately videos haven’t had audio in a while but I still much prefer it over the official site.
Also a way to export/import subscriptions would be helpful for use on other devices or browsers.
Videos will have audio tomorrow. If reddit provides a way to export subscriptions I will implement the import function.
Awesome! I didn’t mean exporting subscriptions from a reddit account but from rdx itself. I was thinking that the list of subscriptions that appears when you press the + button could be exportable if possible.
Relay (the last 3rd party app, I believe) still works too. They were supposed to start charging but I check in every once in awhile – because unfortunately it’s still one of the best websites to get an honest answer to a question written by a human – and I haven’t paid a cent.
Infinity worked until 2 days ago for me
Relay’s still working
libreddit also works
I use lemmit. That way the reddit content comes here to Lemmy, and I have everything I want here in one place. I do have a policy to downvote any content that is hosted on reddit so I don’t have to give them a pageview. I wish I could automatically block that stuff.
I was curious about this kind of idea. Isn’t all reddit content owned by reddit, and isnt pasting their intellectual property onto a different platform not really super legal? (I fully support it)
Being able to extract all of the question/answer threads on reddit to boost the value of lemmy from a search index perspective seemed too good to be true as a solution.
Maybe too good to be true, but I’ll ride that train to the end of the line! As for comments, it’s not possible, and anyway, I think it’s better to start our own conversations here.
Wow, that’s super awesome! Bookmarked immediately
Doesn’t this just direct traffic to Reddit? Why do you want to do that?
Indirectly? yes. But there are some subs like r/progresspics r/gainit etc that haven’t moved to other platforms and have good content on them related to the niche the serve. Also the occasional google search that takes you to reddit.
I cannot get the audio to work for videos. According to the network analyzer, it’s because of 403 errors. This is only the case for all of the audio files.
I will fix the audio tonight.
Cool! Take your sweet time btw. Tomorrow, next year, next big bang. Sall good.
Nice
