So, this isn’t meant to be a “guide” or anything but I thought it could be helpful to some.
- Find yourself an RSS feed reader (e.g. Feedbin).
- Grab your subreddit link. (Example:
reddit.com/r/museum) - Add
.rssto the end of that link. (Example:reddit.com/r/museum.rss) - Add your subreddit RSS feeds to your feed reader.
This way, you can keep reading reddit without having to visit it. You will still need an account to participate, of course.
But I asked myself this question: “Do I really want to participate and keep feeding reddit content for free?”
You are what makes reddit what it is. If you can be yourself elsewhere, why waste your precious time on reddit?
You deserve better.
I used to use Google Reader and then Feedly when it shuttered, but that was back in heady days of blogmania, when everyone was self-publishing. Haven’t done RSS in years, not since social media platforms took over. Having said that, I find it strangely hollow now reading any article without an accompanying discussion zone like Reddit. Like only getting half the story or a limited perspective. Hopefully Lemmy scratches that itch.
