Hi, today I just learned about RDX and I realized that it solved my biggest gripe with Lemmit. That being that a lot of the video content I find on Lemmit is hosted on Reddit, and clicking through to it gives Reddit a pageview and puts me back on a site I’ve sworn never to go back to.

Previously I was just downvoting any lemmit content that directed me to reddit, but now on desktop, I’m able to use a redirect plugin to redirect all reddit links to RDX, which is great.

Unfortunately this doesn’t work on mobile, because the embedded safari client used in most mobile apps will not run the redirect plugin I have installed and configured in mobile safari.

And then I got to thinking, shouldn’t this just be the default behavior of Lemmit anyway? It wouldn’t require a lot of coding I don’t think, and if I were to hazard a guess, I would think that anyone who’s moved off Reddit but still accesses it’s content via Lemmit would much prefer to not be redirected back to reddit to view the content.

Could we make rdx redirection the default behavior of Lemmit please?
