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 .rss to 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.

    Remember that Chrome extension for YouTube that would replace YouTube comments with a Reddit comment thread instead? Couldn’t you do something similar between Reddit and a Lemmy instance? Scrape all the posts like this RSS feed but replace the comments with Lemmy comments?

      I believe you are referring to Voat. I was just starting to use it when this debacle started. I hope somebody a makes something similar for Lemmy. Maybe the Voat developers will add Lemmy support since I suppose they will be affected by the API changes as well.
