LemmyReddit started blocking VPN users on old.reddit.com
Rikj000RedLib, the continuation of LibReddit,
still works:
github.com/redlib-org/redlib
I use it in combination with this GreaseMonkey script,
to redirect me to a random RedLib instance:
greasyfork.org/…/469587-reddit-to-libreddit-redir…
Due to instances often going down and/or stop working.
On Android you can use Stealth . That’s what I use for searches that pull up Reddit posts.
It also lets you subscribe to subs without having an account if you want. You actually do not have the option to sign in on Stealth.
The stealth protocol does not have anything to do with accessing individual sites or services. The purpose of stealth is when trying to estata VPN connection to a provider that does not allow VPNs. For example, a public wifi that blocks VPN connections or some countries that require ISPs to block VPN connections.
I never said it did. If you had bothered to actually read my comment or look at the link you would have seen that I was referencing the app Stealth.
stealth doesn’t work at all, it just says something went wrong.
I only get the ‘something went wrong’ error when a post has been scraped, then deleted. So you go to load it but it no longer exists.
I just tried it again before replying and it worked fine for me.
CorrodedNot the original person replying but I tried it as well and opening the app gives me the same error message.
There’s a message at the bottom that says
Stealth might stop working soon
that when clicked says
Considering it talks about old.reddit.com I imagine the VPN issue is effecting it as well.
It is odd, it still works fine for me.
That notice has been there since the third party change. Under ‘Data’ - ‘Reddit Source’ I had to change it from ‘Teddit’ to ‘Reddit’. Teddit stopped working quite soon after the API change.
It seems to not be effecting all VPN connections, I’m wondering if yours just hasn’t been blocked yet?
I am using Orbot, which always shows up as a TOR exit node. Strange that they would allow that. I always pick somewhere in western Europe so my time zone stays the same.
it won’t load anything. not the front page, no search results, nothing. i recall trying like half a year ago too, and with similar results.
