I'm also building, or trying to, a client for Reddit made with React. The thing I'm not achieving is properly rendering videos hosted on Reddit. I've come to the conclusion that it's impossible. It's totally closed from being played outside of reddit.com by using CORS. I can't in any way play the DASH or HLS files from reddit. I can load the mp4 fallback, but guess what? It's a video without audio. You can get the au…

So it's not impossible to get around CORS, but it will be expensive if you are dealing with video. One option is to load the videos through a proxy server to ignore the CORS headers.

Really lame though. Reddit needs an embed thing like YouTube, but I have feeling they want people on Reddit, which is why links to Reddit media take you to the comment section.

In my experience, no subreddit on reddit is (or can remain) an unbiased neutral source of information about politics. Either subscribe to a bunch of them, one for each world view, or just classify reddit as a flawed news source and move on to something better.

Out of curiousity, where on Earth can you find "an unbiased neutral source of information about politics"?

It's definitely not news media. I don't think it exists. :)

Its amazing how far backwards reddit went. In browser on desktop it's incredibly slow, even just clicking the comment box to write takes a few seconds and lags out for no reason. No doubt they're employing an uber amount of user tracking and all manner of inefficient code.

You can still use https://old.reddit.com . The UX is still bad, but at least it is fairly quick. Annoyingly it is common to get linked back to the new UI but still way better than using it full time.

And on mobile, just add .compact to the end of the URL. Like https://reddit.com/r/programming.compact

great work, too bad reddit is becoming a political propaganda machine

The last few times I’ve been to reddit /r/all was just full of news about Donald Trump. As someone that doesn’t really get current American politics I’m just so confused at how people don’t get tired of it. Like I get it, fill the front page for a few days in 2016... but its like every day... all the time... I just want cute pictures of cats... can’t we just have 1 happy place.

It's been like that since 2016. People are thoroughly sick of it but those people are downvoted into the hundreds and don't get a voice.

Why not make an account and subscribe to whatever you find interesting? Then just avoid /r/all

I suppose I could, seeing the community via /r/all doesn’t really make me want to get invested though. Maybe I’m missing out on some gems but I’ve got plenty of things to keep my attention as it is.

Trust me, you're not

Just subscribe to /r/news and read top comments

subreddit rules for /r/news: >Your post will be removed if it: >[...] >is an opinion/analysis or advocacy piece. >The title must be the actual title or the lead. Can you explain how links to articles from major news outlets, with titles unchanged can be "radical left propaganda"? Just for posterity I took a picture of the current submissions on /r/news: https://i.imgur.com/rsTm7Rj.png . Can you point out where the "r…

That's easy. Many major news outlets are filled with radical left propaganda. Like the guardian, CNN, BBC and loads more.

As I scanned this headline (and before I got to the end), I assumed you had in fact designed a tool that would help you design a real deck that was safe to post on Reddit. Posting pictures of your homemade backyard deck build is one of the more brave things you can do on the site as it will generally get destroyed in the comments with everything you did wrong and how it's going to sink into the swamp, after catching on fire.

it's full of radical left propaganda even on non-political subs like /r/pics and whatnot

I can’t trust Reddit anymore given their complete commitment towards thought policing and censorship of ant views that don’t align with a far left ideology. Here’s a list of alternative platforms: https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/hi97fz/...
