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.

    Thank you for this. Just a few hours ago i decided to start using rss, so im trying to put most stuff i read on my feed reader. Any way i can make it display comments too? Im imagining not, but im wondering just in case, since i tend to spend a lot of time reading discussions and bickering on r/aita

      Sure thing! This method doesn’t display comments, unfortunately.

      I don’t use RSS anymore but I imagine you can subscribe to the comments RSS feed.
