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.

    A lot of it is also the moderation of certain subreddits though that’s not easy to replicate elsewhere. For instance most subreddits dedicated to football (soccer) clubs maintain a tier list of journalists based on their reliability and will only allow reputable sources to be posted on the subreddit.

    That’s quite frankly a lot of bullshit that I would otherwise have to sort through myself to get the same information on transfer movements and news
