I made a webapp that sort of works on ios if you install the page on your homescreen. Similar principle as geddit at lurkit.vercel.app

I’ve found that Geddit only shows a selection of comments, instead of all of them. (Top comments, maybe?) Is there a setting for that or is that a limitation of the RSS?

Edit: The latest update dropped and gives us threaded comments. They aren’t great… but there’s potential. Still only a selection of comments.

And here you are posting… I’m not sure I can handle the irony! 😁

(You’re still giving traffic to reddit btw)

You mean costing reddit bandwidth while avoiding ads. Unless your argument is that reddit itself is the ad?

I said traffic. You said ads.

Keep in mind companies make money in more ways than ads.

A companies valuation includes an estimate for the worth of each active user…about $1 or more per registered email.

Site traffic is also counted, because although those users are anonymous they are still eyeballs.

Also, it is trivially easy to include ads over RSS. This may happen at some point.

Until then, you are giving your traffic to reddit, helping boost their value before IPO.

As for costing reddit traffic, my sweet summer child… RSS is 1000% more efficient than reddit’s app or web ui.

I’m using lemmy to get the “infinite expanse” of human memes out of my mind…

It’s a shadow of Reddit, but to use that time to (say) read arstechnica.com instead of mindless doomscrolling…

Doesn’t the newest version of RiF also do the same thing? It still works on my end but I’m logged out.
