Reddit has blocked its JSON endpoints and is considering blocking RSS feeds to combat scraping bots, which has impacted third-party apps and websites like RDX.
Users have expressed dissatisfaction with remaining alternatives such as RedReader due to poor UI, while others have shifted to platforms like Lemmy as Reddit becomes less accessible.
The community appreciates the open-source efforts behind tools like RDX and hopes for solutions to restore limited access to niche Reddit communities.
