Reddit has RSS feeds (lemmy.ml)

A lot of people don't know this, but you can subscribe to subreddits using RSS by simply adding .rss at the end of the URL, e.g: https://reddit.com/r/socialism.rss and then you can add the feed to your favorite RSS reader. For example, there's a great add on for Firefox and an Android app.

As far as I know, RSS feeds aren't affected by the API changes. So if you use Reddit to catch up on the news, this is a great way to do that.

Nice! Can’t wait to pay 40$ next year for that access.

Seriously though, it’s a great feature and I hope it stays.

Just wait until they nuke them too...

For some reason many sites get rid of their feed over time so I can imagine they won't last long on Reddit neither.

They already disabled posts marked as NSFW recently which sucks if you don't like logging in all the time.

Btw you can use RSS on YouTube too: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=(id here)

Man I totally forgot about RSS, it died ages ago with the death of Google's client and never really stuck afterwards. Was just meaning to ask about a good client, this one looks like a no BS one that does it's job. Thanks!

Thanks for this! I forgot RSS even existed. The time I used them were so many years ago that it feels like RSS should be dead like cds 😂

to catch up on the news, this is a great way to do that.

great way to catch up on the news is to watch actual real respectable news - not reddit (or any other social network, for that matter)
