- pavel_lishin 1y agoI forgot Reddit ever had RSS, and I think they're doing their best to forget it, too. Viewing the source of a subreddit on old.reddit.com shows an RSS link; viewing it on the new domain does not.
- kivle 1y agoDuring the whole API debacle all the RSS feeds in my reader got rate limited or blocked, so I just stopped using Reddit. Maybe I'll give it another go if they actually started allowing RSS again.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoI've given up on Reddit, after all of their moves that seemed to be explicitly hostile to their users. I know some people still get value out of it, and I'm happy for them, but I'm not particularly interested anymore.
- jjordan 1y agoIt's more bots / paid actors than real conversations at this point anyway. They're just milking the honeypot for that LLM training money until it runs out.
- justinator 1y agoIs there a community that you’ve instead joined?
- immibis 1y agoMost people seem to be in Discord. The quality is just as bad as Reddit, but at least it's not overrun with bots and there isn't an upvote system causing an echo chamber effect.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoNot really; I read Hacker News more, now, and spend more time in my Discords & Slacks that I was already in. But I also have a child & a job, so in general my available time to goof around online is less.
- immibis 1y agoThe quality of the content is terrible too now that you get banned for saying the wrong words. And I'm not talking about "woke" stuff - you can get a permanent site-wide ban for saying things like Elon Musk is a Nazi, or just at random.
- timbit42 1y agoJust add .rss to the end of the URL to get RSS.
- pavel_lishin 1y agoI mean, I know how to get there. I was pointing out that Reddit itself doesn't really consider RSS a first-class citizen of how to get to its content.
- ksynwa 1y agoI feel like some unsung hero is quietly maintaining it trying their best to not draw any attention. With how walled off social media has become and how unadvertised the feature is I thought it'd be gone by now.
