Reddit limiting RSS?
I remember seeing someone from #Reddit (staffer iirc?) recently saying they were considering to remove #RSS from the platform.
Then I came across this post (in Italian):
https://thebrainbin.org/m/random/p/770945
The first paragraph picked my attention:
(Translated) Reddit is progressively blocking the access from RSS to its subs (heavily limiting the number of requests).
The OP also points out one can circumvent current limitations by using https://reddit.com/r/{some_subreddit}/new/.rss?feed=mytoken&user=myuser, mytoken and myuser requiring an account.
I haven’t seen any other mentions on Reddit limiting the feeds. But considering what led to the Reddit diaspora in 2022, what appears to be an increasing attempt to self-destruction since, the aforementioned consideration to remove RSS, and the OP’s workaround which raises privacy concerns and further risking viral IP bans, such a situation doesn’t sound unlikely to me.
Still, I ask to be sure, is it something that has been happening indeed, is it a suspicious amount of coincidences, or might it be the beginning of the next stunt by Reddit?
Idk if related but started getting a 401 error in Boost for Reddit today using my own API key.
Infinity stopped working for me a few days ago.
I guess if this is how I quit reddit cold turkey, so be it.
I’m now more glad than ever that Reddit banned me when they did, I would have hated to see it yet again becoming even more worse.
I’m getting errors since June 18.
They’re aggressively limiting RSS. Only 3 successful calls since then. 2 in 22nd and 1 in 25th.
Similar issues; my RSS won’t fully update on Reddit content. It just won’t be able to get the posts. It has been like this for a month or so.
At first I thought it was the particular RSS being buggy but then tried with multiple different ones and had the same issue.
EDIT: Changed ‘‘bas’’ into ‘‘has’’.
