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
.rssto 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.
Yes and no. Your RSS reader downloads it for you, you just view it. reddit no longer gets your “visit”. You no longer see ads, either.
Thank you for explaining. Now I get it. I am new to RSS readers, but I love having all the info in one place so this has gotta be a really good solution!
You are welcome! RSS is a wonderful thing. It was all we had before the rise of centralised web. 🫠
As a podcast lover, you’ll have to take RSS from my cold, dead hands.
If a show is only available in a walled garden, and not via RSS as a whole, then it’s not a podcast, it’s a show.
Never thought of that hahaha. Especially the no-ads-thing is fascinating to me. Seeing all the info you need in one place, that’s pure luxury hahaha
