I just set up all the subreddits I still want to following in Reeder, an RSS app. I’m able scroll through the posts ad free. It the occurred to me that this is a loss of revenue to Reddit. Could RSS be the new target for onerous fees?
It could be the case that RSS usage is small compared to 3rd party apps like Apollo so not of much concern. It also may be the case that it isn’t possible for Reddit to charge for the usage. If they can’t charge, they may just disable RSS altogether. I’m only guessing. I’ll take off my tinfoil hat now.
Shhh no one tell spez there’s still RSS feeds
Reddit tried to remove https://i.reddit.com, but they forgot that you could also access it by going to https://reddit.com/.i
Wouldn’t be surprised if they would remove RSS feeds but forgot they exist
Thank you!!! Now I can browse Reddit on my 3DS again
(that is, if I still actively used Reddit)
Ohh didn’t know about the .i, tysm! I knew of i.reddit.com and reddit.com/.compact and both have been killed.
Never saw i.reddit.com, i thought they used that for image hosting. It needs a little touch-up but besides that it’s very usable. Crazy.
Image hosting is i.redd.it
It should always be possible to scrape and make a feed. I use this at the moment: https://github.com/trashhalo/reddit-rss
Yep I just finished setting up Feeder for the websites I read most and a few subreddits.
Do you have a good way to find rss feeds? I’m looking to emulate my own hacker news in terms of non-tech interesting articles, and sometimes I feel lost trying to find feeds to subscribe to
Its only a matter of weeks now, days after the 1st of July. RSS feeds count as free access to the Reddit API and therefore unauthorized third party apps, so the’re definitely be gone.
After the userbase has been conditioned to the fact that there isn’t a 3rd party Reddit reader anymore, they will kill off old.reddit.com.
well don’t give then ideas
If reddit gets rid of their rss feeds then i’m absolutely done using that site. I already plan on staying away from reddit based on the api changes getting rid of my 3rd party reddit client. If they get rid of rss feed then I have no reason to use that site, nor would I want to anymore.
Speaking of which, does lemmy have rss feeds?
