I have no idea why it’s taken me so long, but I’ve “discovered” #Redlib as a way to view #Reddit without all of the cruft. #selfhosted of course. https://www.macklin.co/redlib-reddit/
You can use Redlib to create an #RSS feed, which you can process in #Huginn to create a new version of the feed that includes the comments as well as the original post. Just right for using in your favourite rss news reader. https://www.macklin.co/redlib-via-huginn/
You must log in or # to comment.
Too bad it keeps getting blocked by reddit
Proxies started getting blocked (by some auth-account methods) last year, but libreddit/redlib dev was able to outsmart them multiple times. Now it seems like reddit is blocking IPs (and/or IP ranges). Running redlib from a residential IP still works, but I would not expect it to work from a VPS.
FYI hashtags look odd on lemmy
#really! 🫢 Combination of force of habit & search optimisation. I agree though, they do look odd
Interesting use case. I made the jump from teddit -> redlib last week after the API adjustments
I do the same with the activitypub subscriptions, as well as grabbing regular RSS feeds & notifications. I pretty much only need one app to keep up with all of my news - & can “click though” to interact in the real app/website if i have something to contribute
Can you elaborate on the AT subscriptions?
AT? These might be what you’re looking for https://www.macklin.co/rss-feeds/ https://www.macklin.co/huginn-rss-website-image-feed/ You can filter the feed before you generate the output, of course.
Or possibly https://blog.andrewcantino.com/blog/2014/04/13/adding-rss-feeds-to-any-site-with-huginn/
I’ve added a couple of bits to the “code” so that there are links to the reddit & redlib sites in case the comments are interesting but pulled into the feed too soon in the conversation. Also the option to use “credentials” as a way to set the server address as a variable.
Oh this could be interesting… Reading #Reddit in #friendica
