I use NetNewsWire on my iPad and Feeder on my Android phone to read RSS feeds from multiple sites (including Lemmy and Kbin). I also use it to monitor niche sub-reddits so I can give Reddit as little traffic as possible.

I guess it was inevitable that Reddit would know many are doing this and begin to kill RSS feeds. I’ve noticed the past few days that my feeds were not being updated very often, if at all, even though the feed appears to still be there.

This started a few weeks ago, apparently:

    The great thing Reddit had was the ability to turn any subreddit into an RSS feed by just putting .rss on the end of the URL in place of the “/”

    Thankfully RSS is built into Lemmy - every community includes an RSS feed.

    It’s a good way to see a quick list of all posts in a reader that supports RSS.
