I use RSS to fetch reddit posts for subs that are not active in Lemmy.
Sometimes I need to read the comments so I’d view the post from safari. Today, I tried like 3 post and when click on view post, it would redirect me to the App Store.
When I decided to screenshot the page to make this post, it did show the post but would refuse like 1 out of 5 times.
The 3d modeling software i use (SolidWorks) did he exact same thing with their user formums. They used to be an incredibly rich resource for troubleshooting problems and finding creative ways to solve design problems using their software. It was truly something special for professional users of this software. The forum was public and Google searchable.
Then, Dauuault Systems (the parent company of SolidWorks) walled it off for everyone except registered users, which I believe requires a valid license of their software. Guess what? Very few people use it anymore, especially me.
