MicroRSS

Feeds the site has but never links to

RSS feed for a subreddit, a Reddit user or a search

Reddit serves an RSS feed for almost every listing — add .rss to the address and it is there — but nothing on the page says so, and the old.reddit.com spelling sends a reader to a login page. MicroRSS maps the subreddit, user, multireddit or search link you paste to the feed Reddit serves and reads it from www.reddit.com.

New posts arrive with their title, the poster, the link or the self-text and the preview image Reddit attaches.

What you get

  • A subreddit's new posts, or its hot, top or rising listing if that is the link you paste
  • Several subreddits in one feed (r/one+two), a user's posts and comments, a multireddit
  • A search inside a subreddit as a feed, newest first
  • Self-text and link posts with Reddit's preview image

How to add it

  1. 1
    Copy the link

    Open the Reddit page you want to follow in your browser and copy its address.

  2. 2
    Paste it into Add Feed

    MicroRSS recognises the link and offers the feed; nothing else to fill in.

  3. 3
    Read

    New entries arrive on the feed's schedule, with the rest of your subscriptions.

Questions

Does Reddit have RSS feeds?
Yes. Add .rss to a subreddit, user, multireddit or search address. MicroRSS does that for you from the normal link.
Why does the feed come from www.reddit.com when I pasted old.reddit.com?
old.reddit.com answers a feed reader with a login page for the same path; www.reddit.com serves the feed. The link is folded to the one that works.
