Remember that Reddit is essentially a glorified news aggregator that also allows memes and porn and has NFT avatars for some fucking reason.
As far as I know, adding the RSS feed of a subreddit will keep working as usual, unless spez gets wind of it and kills it too, so don’t tell spez.
So, if you still need or want to read from a certain subreddit you can add /.rss at the end of the url. For example:
https://reddit.com/r/antiwork/.rss
I use newsboat on the desktop, because is a terminal based app and terminal based apps are BASED. There are many more fancy readers on desktop.
Also Feeder on mobile is pretty good, it’s available on F-Droid.
With that and moving to lemmy you might break free of your reddit addiction and not fall into the trap of using the crappy official app just to watch dank memes.
Also forget about Karma. I have over 200K karma on Reddit that is utterly useless. Touching grass is more pleasing than getting karma. You can read something on reddit from your RSS feed while touching grass too, multitasking.

you can make different feeds, like a singular feed for r/Apple. You can also put tags in some apps.

I use Feeder and allows to use tags.
I use Feeder too, but if I want to read the comments/answers, I still have to open the browser.
Sign up for a VPN. That should get you around the IP ban. Big providers like windscribe have lots of nodes you can use to change your ip address.
If someone would make an RSS reader with its own comments/threads independent of the stories themselves I could go straight to the app comments after reading only the headline to get shitty takes on stories I won’t read.
The Reddit experience really isn’t that hard to recreate.
Hear me out, giant text groups.
Just make an open text group for every post, name it the headline, and you can have the full reddit experience in one non-reddit app.
The problem is at least for me, I really like to read comments about the given topic. Sure many of the comments were from people who only read the headline but still it was really nice to see the discussion about the news.

Haha, I did the exact same thing yesterday. Terminal based apps are indeed based.
Also, you can use teddit instead if you don’t want to give traffic directly to reddit (as far as I know). It’s pretty easy: instead of adding
/.rss, you add?api&type=rssat the end. See here.Yep - very few subreddits I couldn’t find replacements for yet - so now they live in my rss feed.
Just recently discovered that rss also works for YouTube. And this makes YouTube so much better for me now:) Nice to hear that it also works with Reddit
Oh, friend, I have news for you. RSS works on everything.
Thanks for this! Works great in Firey Feeds on iOS!
They will almost certainly be closing the RSS and JSON loopholes next.
That link still takes me through the app ? Which I don’t want to do for protesting reasons
I’m using Feedbin right now but don’t know if I’ll stick with it.
Dude, imagine paying a monthly subscription for a rss reader when there are a thousand free rss apps.
I’m not paying for it, lol - I’m using the free trial right now.
I’d recommend Inoreader. I haven’t tried Feedly in a few years, but that was pretty good too.

Good call! I may do that with a few of my favorite subreddit via Newsify.
