It is possible on Stealth which is an accountless option with options to use a teddit instance. Little reason to even have an account anymore on reddit, and for those who say subs. Stealth lets you have a feed too. And those that say saving comments or posts Stealth lets you do that too. All locally and exportable.
If you continue using reddit on the phone why let reddit keep harvesting account specific data while just lurking? Go use stealth instead over doing stuff like patching past third party apps and logging in and letting them track your activity then being drawn to add value to the platform through engagement by being tempted to upvotes, downvote, and post.
But wait, why isn't that affected by the api changes
Doesn't use reddit api. Uses either a scraper or teddit instance. There is no option to login. It's a pure lurk mode reddit app.
How does teddit get the content?
From the sounds of it currently uses reddit api

Once that gets killed off will have to rely on scraping. Which I just tested on Stealth , and yes nsfw content is available. And yes, even scrapes you a custom subscription feed with no account.
Seems awesome! Only a shame it doesn't allow blocking communities, or much customability as far as the ui is concerned. Might have to do revanced boost honestly, reddit is such a big part of my hobby.
Yeah, it's very barebones, but I have no intention of scrolling through /r/all any more or interacting with the community so it meets my needs. Days of commenting with the reddit community and giving account based click impressions are done.
Pretty much there set to automatically launch any reddit search result from stealth running the reddit instance so I avoid going directly to reddit. Sort like a smoking patch to tapering off reddit. Using past third party app with the account functionality feels too much like using it as normal, and even closer to falling into commenting again.

It's a Foss reddit app available from f-droid. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.cosmos.unreddit/
