A lot of people don't know this, but you can subscribe to subreddits using RSS by simply adding .rss at the end of the URL, e.g: https://reddit.com/r/socialism.rss and then you can add the feed to your favorite RSS reader. For example, there's a great add on for Firefox and an Android app.

As far as I know, RSS feeds aren't affected by the API changes. So if you use Reddit to catch up on the news, this is a great way to do that.

Nice! Can’t wait to pay 40$ next year for that access.

Seriously though, it’s a great feature and I hope it stays.

to catch up on the news, this is a great way to do that.

great way to catch up on the news is to watch actual real respectable news - not reddit (or any other social network, for that matter)

Reddit is just an aggregator of actual real respectable news.

Thanks for this! I forgot RSS even existed. The time I used them were so many years ago that it feels like RSS should be dead like cds 😂

RSS is really underappreciated, and most news sites still support it. It kind of fell out of vogue because it makes it hard for corps to track and monetize the users.
