https://reddit-top-rss.herokuapp.com - Application Error #16

Open markus1189 opened 1 year ago

markus1189 commented 1 year ago

It seems like the application has an error on heroku.

Do you plan to fix the error, or is it just no longer being maintained?

As much as I enjoy the free instance, I can understand if the latter is the case, just wanted to check before thinking of a solution.

Heroku ended the free hosting plans after "28th of november" (actually they've added a few more days to the grace period), so I guess this is what's happened to the instance. To continue with running it, the minimum price asked by heroku is $5...

in the meantime while we all figure out new solutions, i learned today that adding ?t=week after .rss to a subreddit rss narrows the results so you can approximate the low-volume that this app produces. example: old.reddit.com/r/Gradschool/top/.rss?t=month . also gives you old.reddit.com results which reddit-top-rss can't

I am currently running the docker container locally on my home-server which is fine for me, because I ssh into it and use newsboat via terminal anyway.

It's not a good solution if you are reading RSS from e.g. feedly or some device that is not always on and on the same network as the docker container...

Also, there is this alternative: https://old.reddit.com/r/rss/comments/fvg3ed/i_built_a_better_rss_feed_for_reddit/ Not as feature-packed (and cannot point to old.reddit), but works, points to old.reddit by defaul and has a free instance (at least for now).

This one is good, and it actually points to old.reddit by default: https://github.com/trashhalo/reddit-rss#reddit_url

You're right! Great.

@glottisfaun0000 Thanks but it seems that it's buggy or at least I'm missing something.

No, that's a bug for the official feed if I'm reading correctly. Try this one: https://github.com/trashhalo/reddit-rss#using-my-free-hosted-version

Render is a good alternative to Heroku. On Render, I was able to deploy this web app for free in less than 5 minutes, so please give it a try!
