At this point, I’m not even going to bother trying to go on there anymore.

    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.

    ETA: this works with VPNs and Orbot

        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.

          Not 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.

      Regarding: “On Android you can use [Stealth] . That’s what I use for searches that pull up Reddit posts.”

      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.
