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.
Hmm, that’s a good idea! I tried that, even with your museum-example, and it didn’t work though.
Oh? Which reader did you try it* with? Because you should be able to view the link (
https://www.reddit.com/r/museum.rss
), even in your browser.Okay, that is very weird. With your link it worked now. I am using NetNewsWire and would like to add
https://www.reddit.com/r/dayoneapp
to the feed. But withhttps://www.reddit.com/r/dayoneapp.rss
I get an error message that the feed would not exist.https://www.reddit.com/r/beebutts.rss
does not work either,https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA.rss
works. I am starting to feel stupid.Can you try
https://www.reddit.com/r/DayOneApp.rss
? I think it’s because of the capitalisation.That does not work either. Maybe mods can switch rss off.
This is very odd. Sorry it didn’t help!
But the idea is great! Thanks for it, I might find some other subreddits to “subscribe” this way.
Accidentally deleted my message lol.
I tried and it works for me, the link for RSS was
https://www.reddit.com/r/dayoneapp.rss
I was going to edit my message and instead accidentally deleted it lol.
I tried, just out of curiosity, and RSS works perfectly fine for me. The link was
https://www.reddit.com/r/dayoneapp.rss
I am so annoyed right now 😆
Hmm… What app do you use? I’ve tried to add rss in both Feedbro (Firefox extension) and Feeder (Android app). And it just works ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It’s NetNewsWire, on both Mac and iPhone it didn’t work. What I don’t understand is that with some other subreddits it works, but not all of them. I want to know why 😂
try http://www.reddit.com/r/museum/.rss
It found a feed in my target subreddit, but the newest article is from January 2021. In /r/museum the newest article is from Dec 2020.
This gets weirder and weirder.
