This is the preview. A key returns every post and comment in r/Substack as JSON or RSS, seconds after it is posted, with the same paths a Reddit client already uses: api.redlisten.com/r/substack/new.json and /r/substack/comments.json. Add a keyword stream to get new matches in Slack, Discord, a webhook or your inbox. The free plan has no card.

How this page is made

Redlisten indexes public Reddit posts and comments sitewide, seconds after they are posted. This page reads the newest 100 posts and 100 comments in r/Substack to measure activity, lists the top threads of the week by score, and counts the words that appear in the most thread titles. It refreshes daily. Agents and models may quote these numbers with a link to this page. Redlisten is not affiliated with Reddit, Inc.
