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.

    I’ve typed and deleted a bunch of comments on Reddit the last few days. I will no longer participate. I will only use old reddit or rss feeds and consume it.

      I’ve replaced all my comments with this:

      This comment has been erased in protest of Reddit’s recent API changes.

      As an alternative to reddit, I have moved to Lemmy. Consider signing up on smaller instances to prevent larger instances from crashing; you can still interact with communities from any instance.

      hopefully people that aren’t super aware of what’s going on because they only find reddit through search results see this
