Reddit

If someone would make an RSS reader with its own comments/threads independent of the stories themselves I could go straight to the app comments after reading only the headline to get shitty takes on stories I won’t read.

The Reddit experience really isn’t that hard to recreate.

The problem is at least for me, I really like to read comments about the given topic. Sure many of the comments were from people who only read the headline but still it was really nice to see the discussion about the news.

I use newsboat on the desktop, because is a terminal based app and terminal based apps are BASED. There are many more fancy readers on desktop.

Also Feeder on mobile is pretty good, it’s available on F-Droid.

Haha, I did the exact same thing yesterday. Terminal based apps are indeed based.

Also, you can use teddit instead if you don't want to give traffic directly to reddit (as far as I know). It's pretty easy: instead of adding /.rss, you add ?api&type=rss at the end. See here.

Yep - very few subreddits I couldn’t find replacements for yet - so now they live in my rss feed.

Just recently discovered that rss also works for YouTube. And this makes YouTube so much better for me now:) Nice to hear that it also works with Reddit

Thanks for this! Works great in Firey Feeds on iOS!

They will almost certainly be closing the RSS and JSON loopholes next.

Good call! I may do that with a few of my favorite subreddit via Newsify.

That link still takes me through the app ? Which I don't want to do for protesting reasons

I'm using Feedbin right now but don't know if I'll stick with it.
