A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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.

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 😂
