How it works
Pick a feed type, type a community, a username or a search, and the builder writes the address. Paste it into any reader that takes an RSS or Atom address. The key stays in your browser; the builder never sends it anywhere. Without a key the address carries a placeholder, so swap in your own before you subscribe.
The feeds use the Atom layout Reddit served, with the same entry fields, so a reader, a Discord or Slack bot, or a mod alert that parsed Reddit's feed parses this one unchanged. Join several communities with a plus, such as python+rust, and they arrive in one feed for one request per check.
Why the old feeds stop
Reddit announced that every RSS and Atom feed on reddit.com stops on 13 Nov 2026, with no replacement, and before that feeds had been rate limited and blocked for many readers. The feeds here are served by Redlisten from its own index of public posts and comments, collected as they are posted, so a busy community does not lose posts between checks the way a capped 100 item feed does.
Which feed to choose
Subreddit, new posts is the classic feed: every new thread in a community, newest at the top. It suits a reader folder, a Discord channel that mirrors a community, or a team that wants to see each new question. Subreddit, new comments carries every new public comment in a community. It is busier, and it is where most of the real conversation happens, so it suits support teams and moderators. User follows one author's posts across Reddit, useful for a founder, a journalist or a known expert. Search follows a word or a quoted phrase across Reddit; add subreddit: to the search to keep it to one community.
Feeds for moderators
Moderation teams often run three feeds side by side: new posts as a review queue, new comments to catch a thread that turns heated, and a search feed for a phrase, a link domain or a username the automod rules miss. All three build here and land in any reader, or in a Slack or Discord channel the whole mod team can watch.
Step by step guides
We have guides for Feedly, Inoreader, Discord bots, Slack, Zapier and IFTTT and self hosted readers, and the RSS switch page lists every path.
Common mistakes
Leaving the placeholder in. An address that still ends in rl_live_YOUR_KEY returns an error. Paste your own key, or type it into the optional field before you build. Polling too often. Readers and automation tools check on their own schedule, and every check is one request, so a feed checked every two minutes uses about 21,600 requests a month. Pick the slowest interval the job allows. Many single feeds. Twenty single community feeds cost twenty requests per check; one feed joining them with a plus costs one. Sharing the address. A feed address with a key in it is a password. Keep it out of public channels and shared documents.
What it costs
Each time a reader checks a feed it makes one request. A free key has 250 requests a month, which fits one feed checked every three hours. Pro at $29 a month has 50,000 requests, enough for about fifty feeds checked hourly. Keep the address private, because it carries your key, and give a reader its own key so you can revoke it alone.
