Quick answer
Does Reddit have RSS?
- Does Reddit have RSS?

https://www.reddit.com/r/[subreddit]/.rss- Key limitation
- Reddit blocks automated requests from cloud hosts including Vercel and AWS
Context
What this means for Reddit
Reddit has supported RSS on nearly every page type since launch. The URL is always the page URL plus a .rss suffix. Reddit aggressively rate-limits and blocks datacenter IPs, including Vercel, so previews often fail even when the URL itself is valid. The generated feed still works from a WordPress host with sensible polling intervals.
- Feed URL format
https://www.reddit.com/r/[subreddit]/.rss- Working example
https://www.reddit.com/r/wordpress/.rss
Supported patterns
- Subreddit feeds (/r/[subreddit]/.rss)
- Sorted subreddit views (/new/.rss, /top/.rss, /hot/.rss, /rising/.rss)
- Subreddit search (/r/[subreddit]/search.rss?q=[query]&restrict_sr=1)
- User submissions (/user/[name]/submitted/.rss) and comments (/user/[name]/comments/.rss)
- Multireddits (/user/[owner]/m/[multi]/.rss)
- Front-page sitewide (/.rss) and domain-scoped (/domain/[host]/.rss) feeds
Limitations
- Reddit blocks automated requests from cloud hosts including Vercel and AWS
- High-volume subreddits need keyword or score filtering before import
- NSFW content requires a logged-in session and is not available through public RSS
- Comment trees are not nested in the feed. Only top-level item data is included

Gotchas
Common mistakes
- Watch for this: Dropping the trailing slash. /r/wordpress.rss returns 404, while the working pattern is /r/wordpress/.rss
- Watch for this: Using old.reddit.com in production feeds, the URL works but Reddit may redirect or change the behavior
- Watch for this: Treating every subreddit post as a content candidate, most subreddits are discussion-heavy and not suitable for automated editorial imports

FAQ
Reddit RSS questions
What is the RSS URL for a subreddit?
Add .rss after the subreddit URL, for example https://www.reddit.com/r/wordpress/.rss. The trailing slash before .rss is required.
Why does Reddit preview sometimes fail?
Reddit blocks automated requests from datacenter IP ranges. The subreddit .rss URL is still the correct format. It usually works from a WordPress host with a reasonable polling interval.
Can I get an RSS feed for a user's Reddit comments?
Yes. Use https://www.reddit.com/user/[username]/comments/.rss. Submissions use /submitted/.rss. Both require the user's profile to be public.
Does Reddit RSS work for private or quarantined subreddits?
No. Private and quarantined subreddits require authentication. Public RSS only works for fully public communities.
Is there an RSS feed for Reddit saved posts or a custom feed?
Custom feeds (multireddits) expose RSS at /user/[name]/m/[multi]/.rss. Saved posts are private and not available through RSS.
