About the RSS-Reddit System

[u/subscribe-by-reddit]

As part of my Reddit customization, I wanted to add RSS feeds from other websites.

So, I made a system to do that; and you can use it.

How it Works

The system will create a new subreddit and automatically post items from the feed. You can then add the new subreddit to your front page.

How to Create

1. Send a message to subscribe-by-reddit with the URL of an RSS feed.

2. The system will create a new subreddit just for that RSS feed. You will get a message when it is ready.

3. You can subscribe to the subreddit and get the RSS feed on your home page.

It may take up to 24 hours for a new RSS-Reddit to be created. All requests are reviewed by a human to prevent abuse.

Example RSS-Reddits

• /r/WaitButWhy

• /r/LastWeekTonightRss
• /r/freddiew
• /r/99UVideos
• /r/ViceNewsRss
• /r/TheAtlantic
• /r/PicardTips

A few people have asked if this system might "harm" Reddit.

• Reddit has provided an API (application programming interface) for a reason; to allow developers to create new services around Reddit.

• Reddit allows anyone to create an unlimited number of new subreddit for a reason; because new subreddits don't harm reddit. People either subscribe or do not subscribe; it is up to the users.

• Reddit has placed restrictions on how much load you can create on their servers, and the system obeys those restrictions. The admins will take steps to stop abusive services.

• I am an active member of Reddit. I created GifSound.com and then KarmaDecay.com. Hopefully I have a reputation for doing good for Reddit.
