News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reddit limiting RSS?

I remember seeing someone from #Reddit (staffer iirc?) recently saying they were considering to remove #RSS from the platform.

Then I came across this post (in Italian):
https://thebrainbin.org/m/random/p/770945

The first paragraph picked my attention:

(Translated) Reddit is progressively blocking the access from RSS to its subs (heavily limiting the number of requests).

The OP also points out one can circumvent current limitations by using https://reddit.com/r/%7Bsome_subreddit%7D/new/.rss?feed=mytoken&user=myuser, mytoken and myuser requiring an account.

I haven't seen any other mentions on Reddit limiting the feeds. But considering what led to the Reddit diaspora in 2022, what appears to be an increasing attempt to self-destruction since, the aforementioned consideration to remove RSS, and the OP's workaround which raises privacy concerns and further risking viral IP bans, such a situation doesn't sound unlikely to me.

Still, I ask to be sure, is it something that has been happening indeed, is it a suspicious amount of coincidences, or might it be the beginning of the next stunt by Reddit?

Idk if related but started getting a 401 error in Boost for Reddit today using my own API key.

Same here, started a day or 2 ago. Are you still down or found any workarounds?

[–] BevsDad@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Still down for me. Too lazy to find another workaround lol

Maybe through the fediverse with @birb@rss-parrot.net? It'd be a plain RSS reader but publishing what it finds as posts.

Not ideal if the intention is to keep using the Reddit app, but if the platform you use has an app and supports the bot's posts (since they're microblogs), maybe it could be an alternative?

Infinity stopped working for me a few days ago.

I guess if this is how I quit reddit cold turkey, so be it.
