Replace Reddit RSS feeds after November 13, 2026: your subreddit, search and user feeds, read by your AI agent

Overview

For years, the quiet way to follow Reddit was an RSS feed: a subreddit's new posts, a search for your product's name, a user you watch, read in Feedly, Inoreader or NetNewsWire, or piped into Zapier, IFTTT and n8n. On November 13, 2026, Reddit stops every one of those feeds, and offers no replacement outside the communities you moderate.

With Reduck, your AI agent reads the same subreddits, searches and users in your own Chrome, where you are signed in to Reddit, and gives you only the posts that are new since its last check. You keep your list of feeds; the feed URLs are what go away.

Why it's hard

Every unauthenticated way into Reddit is closing at once. RSS feeds stop on November 13, 2026. Unauthenticated .json requests already answer 403. The public Data API stops taking new requests on October 31, 2026 and closes in March 2027. Old Reddit, whose plain pages scrapers and RSS bridges read, is limited to signed-in users who used it in the last six months.

What still works is reading Reddit while signed in. But a scraper in the cloud runs from a datacenter address, which Reddit blocks, and Claude's own web fetch declines reddit.com. The posts your feeds showed you are still there; the only door left is a browser where you are logged in.

How Reduck does it

Reduck's Reddit scripts run in your own Chrome, through the Reduck extension, where you are already signed in to Reddit. You give your agent the list your feeds covered: subreddits, searches, users, threads. Paste the old .rss URLs if you have them; the subreddit, the words and the sort are all in the URL.

On each check, your agent reads every source with the script that matches it, keeps the posts created since the last check, drops the repeats between sources, and gives you one list, newest first, with the subreddit, the title, the comment count and the link. Ask it to, and it also reads a post in full, or a thread's comments.

Each Reddit RSS feed, and what replaces it

A multireddit feed (r/a+b) becomes one source per subreddit. Each script returns structured posts: the URL, the title, the author, the score, the comment count and the date, and for a subreddit the post's full text.

What your agent does

1. Takes your list of sources, or reads it from your old feed URLs
2. Reads each subreddit, search, user and thread with the matching script
3. Keeps the posts created since the last check
4. Drops the repeats between sources, and the off-topic matches of a search if you ask
5. Gives you one list, newest first, with the subreddit, the title, the comment count and the link

Reddit RSS alternatives compared

As each tool's own page describes it, read on October 26, 2026. "Not documented" means we did not find it there.

Pick a reader extension or a feed generator if you want to keep reading feeds in a reader. Pick Reduck if what you did with the feeds was read them, decide what matters and act on it: your agent does that part too.

Who it's for

• Anyone who follows subreddits, searches or users in Feedly, Inoreader, NetNewsWire or FreshRSS
• Founders and marketers whose Zapier, IFTTT or n8n flows start from a Reddit RSS feed
• Developers whose agent read Reddit through RSS or the API, and needs another way in
