--- title: "Reddit RSS Alternative After November 13 · SocialToAI" canonical: https://socialtoai.com/reddit-rss-alternative/ published: 2026-11-05 updated: 2026-11-05 --- # Reddit RSS stops on November 13: how to keep reading your subreddits Reddit stops supporting RSS feeds on 2026-11-13, and says there is no replacement outside communities you moderate. To keep a subreddit in your feed reader, make a daily watch of it and paste the watch's private RSS address in place of the .rss one. A run is 2 credits, 62 a month; the sign-up credits cover about 50 days. It updates daily or weekly, not in real time. - Page: https://socialtoai.com/reddit-rss-alternative/ - Published: 2026-11-05 - Last updated: 2026-11-05 > Every morning, read the newest posts of r/nasa and give me the watch's RSS address. [Set up a daily watch](https://socialtoai.com/sign-in/?next=%2Fconsole%2Fplayground%2F%3Fop%3Dreddit.subreddit_posts) · 2 credits a run · failed runs are free · uses no account of yours ## What stops, and when Reddit says it will “stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13, 2026”, because RSS has become a common surface for large-scale scraping and automated abuse. Its post lists no exceptions, so plan for every `.rss` address to stop: a subreddit, a search, a user, a post's comments.

Its [setup guide](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/articles/54058188280852/) says to allow 15 to 20 minutes and no coding. - **You run an app or bot.** [Register it](https://developers.reddit.com/app-registration) before 2027-01-12 and move it to the Developer Platform with Reddit's [migration guide](https://developers.reddit.com/docs/guides/migrate/public-api). Reddit's $1M App Migration Program pays $1,000 to eligible apps that migrate; apply by 2026-11-30. - **You use Reddit data commercially.** Reddit's Data API Terms require a separate agreement with Reddit. - **You just follow subreddits in a feed reader.** Reddit's post says that for feeds outside a community you moderate, “there is no replacement”. The rest of this page is for you. ## Use a watch's private RSS in place of the .rss address A watch reads the subreddit on a schedule and keeps a private feed of the posts it had not seen, as RSS 2.0 and JSON Feed. Your reader only needs the new address. You need a SocialToAI account, but no Reddit account, app or API key: it uses no account of yours, so it cannot affect your account. - Sign in and open the Playground on this call (https://socialtoai.com/sign-in/?next=%2Fconsole%2Fplayground%2F%3Fop%3Dreddit.subreddit_posts): 100 credits free on sign-up, no card. - Fill in `id` with the subreddit's name, without the r/ (`nasa`), set `sort` to `latest`, and run it once (2 credits). - Press “Make it recurring”, choose daily or weekly and a time, and save. - On the Tasks page (https://socialtoai.com/console/tasks/) press “Copy RSS” and paste the address into your reader, in place of the old one. Or say it to your AI once it is [connected over MCP](https://socialtoai.com/mcp.md): it previews what will run and what it costs, and makes the watch only after you agree. Each subreddit is one watch. The first run only notes what is there already; from the next run on, the feed carries what is new. **Or with a key that may manage schedules** ``` curl -X POST https://api.socialtoai.com/v1/schedules \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOCIALTOAI_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "op": "reddit.subreddit_posts", "input": { "id": "nasa", "sort": "latest" }, "name": "r/nasa", "frequency": "daily", "time": "08:00", "timezone": "UTC", "max_credits_per_run": 2 }' ``` ## Before and after | | Reddit's .rss, until it stops | A watch's feed | | --- | --- | --- | | Address | `/r/nasa/new/.rss` | `/v1/feeds/wf_….xml` | | How fresh | Whenever your reader asks | **Daily or weekly, at the time you choose. Not real time.** | | What you get | The newest posts | Only posts not seen before, from one page of up to 25 a run; the feed lists the last 20 runs that found something, at most 100 items | | Each item | Title, link, author and date | Title, link, date and the start of the text for 24 hours after the run, then link and date. A reader that refreshes daily keeps the title. No author | | Who can read it | Anyone | Anyone with the address, so keep it private. You can change it or switch it off | | Cost | Free | 2 credits a run. Reading the feed is free, and failed runs cost nothing | ## What a month costs One run is 2 credits. A daily watch runs at most 31 times a month, so 62 credits ($0.21 at the first pack). The 100 credits you get on sign-up cover 50 runs, about 50 days of one daily watch. A free account can hold 1 watch; one that has bought credits, 20. When the free credits run out the watch pauses and charges nothing, and any purchase starts it again. | Subreddits | Runs | Credits a month | At the first pack | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Weekly | 10 | $0.033 | | 1 | Daily | 62 | $0.21 | | 5 | Daily | 310 | $1.03 | | 20 | Daily | 1,240 | $4.13 | The first pack is 3,000 credits for $10; credits never expire, and there is no subscription. ## What to know first - **It is not real time.** A watch runs daily or weekly. On a subreddit that posts more than 25 times between runs, the older ones of that stretch are not read. - **It reads posts, not comments.** A `.rss` feed of a post's comments maps to a different call, below. - **Commercial use stays subject to Reddit's own terms.** This page does not change them. - **Reddit's rules keep changing.** If a run fails you are not charged, and the status page (https://socialtoai.com/status/) says what is working. ## Other .rss addresses A watch can run these too, each at its own price.

Until 2026-11-13, by Reddit's own date. Set up what replaces it before then, so your reader has no gap. ### Does Reddit offer a replacement? For moderators' alerts, yes: Devvit apps such as Discord Relay. For feeds outside a community you moderate, Reddit's post says there is no replacement. ### Can I paste the new address into my feed reader? Yes, into any reader that takes an RSS 2.0 address. There is also a JSON Feed address. Reading it needs no key and costs nothing. ### How often does it update? Daily or weekly, at the time you choose. It is not real time. ### Do I need a Reddit account or API key? No. It uses no account of yours, so it cannot affect your account. You need a free SocialToAI account. ### What does it cost to follow one subreddit? 2 credits a run: 62 credits a month if daily, about $0.21. The sign-up credits cover about 50 days. ### Can I use this commercially? Commercial use of Reddit content stays subject to Reddit's own terms, whichever way you read it. - [Reddit subreddit posts API](https://socialtoai.com/reddit-subreddit-posts-api.md): The call a watch runs: parameters and fields. - [Reddit API changes: every date](https://socialtoai.com/data/reddit-api-changes.md): Each date Reddit posted, with sources. - [How to read Reddit after its free API access ends](https://socialtoai.com/how-to/read-reddit-after-free-api-access-ends.md): Apps, libraries and AI assistants. - [Schedules and feeds](https://socialtoai.com/docs/schedules.md): Every rule of a watch and its feed.
