RedReader VS libreddit

Are there any advantages to using the official Reddit app instead of something like RedReader?

{ "id": -1, "name": "RedReader", "description": "RedReader is a third-party Reddit app for Android, notable for being more accessible than many other apps. It was granted an exemption by Reddit to be allowed to operate for free, so the decision was made to replace the icon with Slide. (The icons for other exempted apps, such as Dystopia, were not changed for some reason.)", "links": { "website": [ "https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader" ], "subreddit": [ "RedReader" ] }, "path": { "11-15": [ [ 37, 22 ], [ 39, 22 ], [ 42, 24 ], [ 42, 28 ], [ 39, 30 ], [ 37, 30 ], [ 34, 28 ], [ 34, 24 ] ] }, "center": { "11-15": [ 38, 26 ] } }

I've submitted it on GitHub

Feel free to submit a feature request for it but it's very unlikely available in the API

Nope. The developer previously mentioned not wanting to do that because it could be confusing to the user. Feel free to submit a feature request for it if you feel strongly enough.

Nope. There is a 3 year old request for a card view which might be able to show more post information like the first line. Feel free to give that a thumbs up.

Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe

Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]

Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.

Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]

Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:

The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk

ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community

A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere

The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

This is a particular teddit instance shutting down, not teddit the software project.

Stuff is moving a lot currently and there is a bumpy road ahead, but there are several courses of action already being mapped out (scraping html, r-e the private gql api, a setting for operators to put some auth token, ..).

Sadly the quick refresh is no longer working for me, and going through all of the instances on Libredirect, they all seem to be constantly down now.

It appears that they are trying to deal with this issue here:

Yes, the official Reddit app uses a different endpoint for authentication. There has been great progress in reverse-engineering the private API: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/818

There's a fork of Libreddit that uses the API key leaked from the official Reddit app: https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/pull/819
