Geddit is an open-source, Reddit client for Android without using their API. Many devs are working smart to bring us the content without API. Nitter is back, now Geddit.🍻
That’s good to know, but Reddit is a passed station here.
Staying here, nise and cosy.
i already tried a similiar client that does the same and reddit bans your ip after a short time. they HUGELY rate limit you for doing this. also i try to get away from reddit… reddit destroys itself currently more and more so fuck them. no thanks.
But what would be the point? Reddit is dead, long live Lemmy.
Fuck Reddit, and fuck u/spez.
I have full made the jump from Reddit to Lemmy and the Fediverse. However, Reddit still contains so much valuable information. This client will let you access past posts without having to log in or use the official app, and I’m glad to have it available.
Cool, I will never use it
Okay, I will only go use Reddit when i require information that will be available there and I can’t find it anywhere else.
Lemmy has been nice to me, I find this a better place.
Neat!! Always good to see innovation and a project built to scratch an itch! Looking forward to seeing where it goes!
That’s cool and everything, but if it’s scraping the site they’ll block that shit straight away, they’ve already said as much and scraper blocking is relatively easy to do these days.
Good luck though.
i experimented the last 1-2 weeks with a similiar concept and coded my own client for reddit… and can say… yes…reddit extremly hard limits you. they even banned my ip when i open reddit in a browser on the same device. similiar app named “Stealth” gets your ip banned by making requests in a second…its just not a good way to bypass reddits thirdparty api shit.

appears to be an RSS feed reader built for Reddit, rather than just scraping the site. This’ll likely last quite a long time, I don’t see Reddit killing their rss functionality anytime soon.
Interesting, what does Reddit even use an RSS feed for? I’m trying to figure out why they’d even have that still going today and coming up empty.
This is cool and all, but I think that people that are already here, are mostly not thinking about going back. But that’s just my opinion.
It’s your opinion. And it’s right.
