Reddit RSS is ending: what still works after November 13

Reddit stops supporting RSS feeds on November 13, 2026, and offers no replacement unless you moderate the community. There is no Reddit RSS alternative that brings a subreddit back. What you can rebuild is the alert: the deal, release, security and job feeds below cover what most subreddit feeds were used for.

When do Reddit RSS feeds stop working?

November 13, 2026. Reddit announced it on September 30 and said plainly that people who use feeds outside a community they moderate get no replacement. Moderators are pointed to an app called Discord Relay. TechRepublic has the full timeline.

1. July 2026Old Reddit requires a login.
2. September 30, 2026Reddit announces the end of RSS and of the public API.
3. October 31, 2026No new requests for public API access.
4. November 13, 2026RSS feeds stop. Subreddit, user and search feeds.
5. January 12, 2027Unregistered apps and bots start losing API access.
6. March 2027Public API access closes.

We fetched reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/new/.rss on November 11, 2026 and it still returned 25 posts. Do not read that as a reprieve.

Do you need an account to read Reddit?

Not yet for most pages, but that is the direction. Old Reddit already needs a login, and so do Reddit's JSON pages. At the end of October, Reddit's CEO said the site will gradually become a "logged-in service" with limited access for visitors without accounts. Reddit has not said which pages or when. BleepingComputer covered the announcement.

For alerts, the result is simple. Anything that reads Reddit without logging in is on borrowed time. That includes the bridges that turn Reddit pages into feeds.

Reddit RSS alternative by subreddit

Nothing recreates a subreddit feed. What you can replace is the job the feed did. Reddit publishes no numbers on feed use, so this list is our judgment: communities with a long habit of keyword alerts. Every feed named here returned items on November 11, 2026.

All of these are in Tripword's source library, except the Slickdeals search feed. Paste that one with your own words. The hnrss.org feeds are a third-party bridge to Hacker News, not run by Hacker News.

What has no replacement

• Marketplace subreddits. r/hardwareswap, r/mechmarket, r/homelabsales, r/watchexchange. The listings are posts by Reddit users and exist nowhere else. Use Reddit's own app notifications.
• Keyword search across all of Reddit. The old search.rss trick for brand mentions and leads has no feed substitute. Paid monitoring tools that hold an agreement with Reddit are the remaining route.
• The comments. A deal site tells you the price. It does not tell you the three replies that say the seller is bad.

Lemmy copies of some subreddits exist and every Lemmy community has a feed. Check activity first. The Build a PC Sales community on lemmy.world had no post newer than October 12 when we looked.

Will a Reddit RSS bridge still work?

For a while, maybe. RSSHub, RSS-Bridge and hosted feed generators build a feed by reading Reddit's pages or API. Reddit is closing each of those doors on the schedule above. A bridge that works in November can go quiet in January with no error. We would not build an alert you depend on that way, and Tripword does not scrape Reddit.

Reddit keyword alerts: rebuild them on feeds that last

A subreddit feed was noisy too. The useful part was always the filter. These rules were run through Tripword's matcher against real titles from November 11, 2026.

Alert: a Steam game at 90% off. Skipped: a Steam game at 65% off.

Alert: a gift-with-purchase set that sold out in 30 minutes, and a Botanicals deal. Skipped: a set teaser.

Alert: a Cloud Engineer role. Skipped: a partnerships manager role.

How Tripword fits

Tripword watches feeds for the exact words you pick and pushes a match to your phone. It is a replacement for the alert you built on a subreddit feed. It is not a replacement for Reddit. Planned plans: Free checks 3 sources every 10 minutes. Plus is $5 a month for 15 sources checked every 60 seconds, with emergency push through Pushover.

Before November 13, export your feed list from your reader. Write down what each Reddit feed was for. Then replace the job, not the feed.

Not for most pages as of November 2026. Old Reddit and Reddit's JSON pages already require a login, and Reddit has said the site will gradually become a logged-in service. It has not given dates.

Will RSSHub or RSS-Bridge keep working for Reddit?

Possibly for a while, but they depend on Reddit pages and API access that Reddit is closing between November 2026 and March 2027. Treat them as temporary.
