Reddit RSS Feed Replacement - New Posts & Comments

Reddit RSS feeds stop working on 13 November 2026. If you follow subreddits, users or searches in a feed reader, an n8n or Zapier workflow, a Slack/Discord alert or a spreadsheet, those feeds go silent that day.

This Actor keeps them running. Give it the same subreddits, users and searches (you can paste your old .rss links as they are), put it on a schedule, and every run hands you only the posts that are new since the last check: as a table, as JSON/CSV/Excel, or as a ready RSS feed link you can drop straight into your reader.

Why people use it

• ✅ Works after Reddit's RSS shutdown. No Reddit account, no login, no API key, no app registration.
• 🔁 Only what's new. Each run skips everything it already gave you, so you never see (or pay for) a post twice.
• 📡 Your own RSS feed link. A fixed link that updates every run, for Feedly, Inoreader, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Thunderbird, the n8n RSS node or anything else that reads RSS or Atom.
• 🧩 Paste your old feeds. reddit.com/r/selfhosted/new/.rss, r/n8n, u/someone, search links: all accepted.
• 💸 Pay for results, not time. New posts cost $0.50 per 1,000.

Quick start (2 minutes)

1. Paste your feeds into Subreddits, users, searches or posts, one per line:

   https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/new/.rss
   r/n8n
   https://www.reddit.com/r/python+learnpython/new/
   u/spez
   https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=%22home%20assistant%22&sort=new
   

2. Keep Only new since last run switched on and press Start. The first run brings the latest 25 posts of each feed.
3. Click Schedule and choose how often to check: every 15 minutes, hourly or daily. From now on each run brings only new posts.

Get an RSS feed link for your reader

After the first run, open the run's Log or the Storage → Key-value store → SUMMARY record. You'll find two links that never change:

• …/feed-default.xml: RSS 2.0
• …/feed-default.atom: Atom (the format Reddit's own feeds used)

Paste either one into your feed reader. It always shows the latest 100 posts across all the feeds in that schedule. Want separate feeds, for example one for work and one for hobbies? Give each schedule its own Monitor name.

Pricing

You only pay for what you get. Prices drop on higher Apify plans.

What	Price per 1,000 (Free plan → Gold and above)
New post or comment since your last run	$0.50 → $0.35
Posts in a first run, or with "only new" switched off	$1.40 → $0.95
Comments	$1.40 → $0.95
Each run	$0.001

What that looks like:

• 10 subreddits checked every hour, about 20 new posts each per day: 6,000 new posts a month ≈ $3, plus 720 runs ≈ $0.72, plus a one-off first run of 250 posts ≈ $0.35.
• A keyword you watch, about 100 new mentions a day: ≈ $1.50 a month.
• A check that finds nothing new costs only the $0.001 run fee.

Apify's free monthly credit covers small feeds completely.

Connect it to your tools

• Feed readers: use the RSS link above.
• n8n: add the Apify node → Run an Actor and get dataset, choose this Actor and your input, and connect the output to Slack, Discord, Telegram, Google Sheets or email. Already have a workflow built on the RSS Read node? Keep it and just swap in your new RSS link.
• Make / Zapier: use the Apify app's Run Actor action on a schedule and map the results to your next step.
• API: every run can also be started with one HTTP call. See the API tab on this page for ready-made examples.

Good to know

• An empty run is good news: nothing new was posted since the last check.
• First run: brings up to Max posts per feed (default 25) so you start with recent posts. After that, only new ones.
• Private, banned or quarantined subreddits can't be followed. They're listed in the run summary, and the rest of your feeds still run.
• NSFW posts that Reddit shows publicly are included and marked as NSFW.
• r/all and r/popular aren't supported yet.
• Feed link asks for a login? If your Apify account restricts storage access, add ?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN to the link.
• Only public information that anyone can see on Reddit is collected.

More Reddit tools

• Reddit Comments Scraper: every comment and reply from any Reddit post, with who replied to whom.
• Reddit Search Scraper: search Reddit by keyword, or get alerts when your keyword is mentioned.
