Some people wanted to download their rants / comments. I'm working on it.
Three lines of native python code (no dependencies) to see what @Lensflare said:
from pprint import pp
from xmlrpc.client import ServerProxy
pp(ServerProxy("https://victoria.molodetz.nl/rpc").get_comments({'id':{'gt':42},'_limit':1337,'username':'Lensflare'}))
I think this gives example of possibilities enough. Use your fantasy on how to retrieve rants.
Limitations:
- Not whole dR is available yet, but way more than retrievable using the public dR API. This system uses the user website as source.
- It doesn't show rant_id or comment_id and it won't to prevent abuse. Later today, there will be away to attach rants comments.
- maximum 2500 record limit. But soon you can get comments for every rant per user. You won't reach this limit in normal usage
Have fun with it! Don't worry about the abusing the API. Everything is allowed. It's fast as F. If it doesn't respond - it wasn't you. I work on it and often reboot services and it takes some time to recover to state.
If you're not familiar with python, that's ok. Check if you're a decent dev and have python or python3 on your computer. Just execute it and paste the lines. Other way is to save these three limes to a file ending with .py and execute python3 [your-file].
Another example for people not used to python:
from pprint import pprint as pp # nice printing of values
client = ServerProxy("https://victoria.molodetz.nl/rpc")
comments = client.get_comments({'_limit':1337})
for comment in comments:
if comment.get('username','default username') == 'kiki':
print(comment.get('body'))
pp(comment)
Happy hacking!

I genuinely don't understand the M.O. here.
Getting rid of ads/spam here => Better Experience for us.
Flooding bots to gain updoots and spam posts => ????
Like, there's no money to be made. There's no influence of this platform anywhere. Getting a million ++'s don't result in anything in the real life.
I guess Alfred was right. "Some people just want to watch the world burn."

I just released JoyRant build 30 with some improvements:
* fixed user-mention text insertion for iOS 18
* improved text selection in rants and comments to make it easier to quote specific parts of comments. See screenshot.

I'm curious to know who uses JoyRant here.
I can see 48 users in TestFlight but there are probably many duplicates.
