So, this isn’t meant to be a “guide” or anything but I thought it could be helpful to some.

  • Find yourself an RSS feed reader (e.g. Feedbin).
  • Grab your subreddit link. (Example: reddit.com/r/museum)
  • Add .rss to the end of that link. (Example: reddit.com/r/museum.rss)
  • Add your subreddit RSS feeds to your feed reader.

This way, you can keep reading reddit without having to visit it. You will still need an account to participate, of course.

But I asked myself this question: “Do I really want to participate and keep feeding reddit content for free?”

You are what makes reddit what it is. If you can be yourself elsewhere, why waste your precious time on reddit?

You deserve better.

    If by “permissible” you mean ethically, stuff is posted and reposted on the internet all the time. Much of the posts you see on Reddit aren’t new either. Unless a community expressly forbids it, I think it’s fine.

    On the other hand this might be a good opportunity to find some sources that you like reading, and post those (if you’re referring to articles)

      Well, I do get a lot of alerts from Google as new topics come in, and I could post those links. That’s mostly the way things are handled in the Futurology and Science subs. Posting those to Lemmy communities should work, I think. I guess I worry about swamping a community with traffic, but if so, I guess whoever manages that community can let me know to dial it back.
