Keep your Reddit feeds in Inoreader

What changes for Inoreader users

Inoreader reads Reddit through the RSS feeds Reddit serves for communities, users and searches. Reddit retires all of them on 13 Nov 2026, with no replacement. A subscription pointing at reddit.com then returns errors, Inoreader flags it as failing, and rules, filters and highlights built on it stop firing because no new articles arrive.

Inoreader users lean on Reddit search feeds more than most, often feeding a rule that tags or forwards matches. Those break on the same date.

The switch, step by step

Redlisten serves the same paths at api.redlisten.com. A reader cannot send a header, so the key goes in the address as ?key=.

1. Create a free account and copy your key from the dashboard.
2. For each Reddit subscription, build the new address: change the host to api.redlisten.com, keep the path, make sure it ends in .rss, and add your key.
3. Subscribe to the new address through Add new, paste it, and choose the folder the old feed lived in.
4. Repoint any rule that named the old feed as its source to the new one, then unsubscribe the old Reddit feed.

If your Inoreader plan lets you change a feed's address from its properties, that keeps read state and history in one place. Otherwise the subscribe and unsubscribe route above loses nothing but the old feed's unread count.

Rules, filters and search feeds

Entries carry the same title, author, link, time and body text as before, so a rule that matches a word in the title or the content keeps matching. A search feed at /search.rss?q= accepts quoted phrases and subreddit: to narrow it, and a comments feed at /r/{sub}/comments.rss carries every new public comment in a community, which suits rules that watch for a product name or a support question inside replies.

For several communities in one subscription, join them with a plus: /r/homelab+selfhosted+sysadmin/new.rss. One subscription is one request per check, whatever the number of communities in it, so combining them is the cheapest way to watch a group.

Moving many feeds at once

With a long list of Reddit subscriptions, editing them one by one is slow. Export your subscriptions as OPML from Inoreader's import and export settings, open the file in a text editor, replace www.reddit.com with api.redlisten.com on the Reddit lines, append ?key= and your key to each of those addresses, and import the edited file. Then remove the old Reddit feeds. Check one imported feed loads before deleting the rest, so a typo in the key does not cost you the whole list.

Keep the key private

The key is part of the address. Do not publish an Inoreader bundle, a public folder or an OPML export that contains it. Your account holds two keys, so give the reader its own and you can revoke it alone if it leaks.

How often Inoreader checks

Inoreader sets how often a feed is checked, and plan level affects it. Each check is one request on your key, so a short interval across many feeds adds up. Combining communities with a plus and using search feeds in place of many single feeds keeps the count down.

What it costs

Every time Inoreader checks a feed it makes one request, and each entry in the feed counts as one result. A free key has 250 requests a month, which fits one feed checked every three hours, enough to test the switch. A Pro key at $29 a month has 50,000 requests and covers about fifty feeds checked hourly. Plans are listed on the pricing page, dated 6 Nov 2026, and there are no daily caps.

Every feed path is on the RSS switch page and in the docs.
