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.

In theory none of those sites can afford to block that user agent, maybe there is something else detected (I have no clue) but if they blocked those Google couldn’t list them in their search anymore and that would basically be a death sentence for Reddit!
