Thereās still some subreddits Iād like to view as their communities havenāt swapped over yet. Like you guys, I obviously donāt want to support Reddit in any way shape or form. Surprisingly, they have not gutted RSS feeds yet. Simply add .rss at the end of the domain. Example
https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA
becomes:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA.rss
Which now works from your RSS reader, sees not ads, and can view without logging in. This also works in nsfw subreddits and apparently now āunverifiedā subreddits now. Depending on your RSS reader, it should also be able to grab images from posts as well. This bypass seems like an oversight for now, as this doesnāt work from the API. Remember: Reddit can still go fuck themselves.
Another small PSA: This works for Lemmy communities as well!

This works for (almost?) any reddit URL:
Note that in the last 3 URLs, the
.rssis added before the?, in all other cases itās at the end.Oh Iām not aware of the comments one! Thank you!
Is there a way to take a url like old.reddit.com/r/sub/comments/abcdef/the_post_title/ and get the post text body and the comments (at lest the first couple of levels) via rss?
This is a great tip! Thanks for posting it.
