From The Verge: "Reddit will stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13th"

#Reddit claims that "RSS is 'now a common surface for large-scale scraping and automated abuse'."

Sauce: https://www.theverge.com/tech/1002788/old-reddit-ai-scraping

Maybe some frontend will add #RSSfeeds now, if there isn't any already?

Still, sounds to me like either, or both, a scapegoat and an engineered problem they now harvest the exact fruits they wanted from.

I have considered that! The thing I like about lemmy/reddit though is that I can follow a single RSS feed that dynamically mirrors the communities I follow, so I can just follow things natively on lemmy, and my RSS reader will pick them up.

I was trying to figure out if Mastodon can do this but I do not think it is a thing 😞.

I have some time to figure out what I want to do, though. Who knows, maybe I'll just add a few Mastodon hashtags. Thanks for the pointer!
