Reddit is now randomly refusing to show posts without login. In iOS, it’ll redirect me to App Store

I use RSS to fetch reddit posts for subs that are not active in Lemmy.

Sometimes I need to read the comments so I’d view the post from safari. Today, I tried like 3 post and when click on view post, it would redirect me to the App Store.

When I decided to screenshot the page to make this post, it did show the post but would refuse like 1 out of 5 times.

Orion lets you send a custom user agent in requests. I’ve found this to generally avoid the “go use our app” dogshit on iOS. It’s also, so far, been nearly perfect at ad blocking in combo with filtering via NextDNS. Kagi has something going, I sure hope they have a revenue plan.
