PSA, you can add subreddits as an RSS to view without supporting Reddit (lemm.ee)

There's still some subreddits I'd like to view as their communities haven't swapped over yet. Like you guys, I obviously don't 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 "unverified" 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 doesn't work from the API. Remember: Reddit can still go fuck themselves.

Another small PSA: This works for Lemmy communities as well!

Sadly, Reddit appears to have pretty much broken RSS feeds. I use NetNewsWire on iPad and Feeder on Android and both of them are hardly ever updating now. Reddit appears to have implemented rate limiting.

Yet another reason to tell Reddit to go F itself…
