Subreddit feeds
The feed for any community stops updating. Your reader will show the last posts it got, then nothing.
If you follow subreddits in a feed reader, those feeds stop on November 13, 2026, in every reader, not just one. Reddit says RSS had become a common route for scraping; news coverage ties that to AI companies collecting training data. Here is what changes, what doesn't, and what still works.
RSS support ends. Subreddit, user and search feeds stop updating.
Old Reddit only for logged-in accounts that used it in the six months before the change, as reported by The Verge.
Unregistered apps start losing API access.
All remaining public API access ends.

This isn't a problem with your feed reader, and switching readers won't fix it. On November 13 the feeds themselves stop. Reddit's words: "If you use RSS for feeds outside of a community you moderate, there is no replacement."
The feed for any community stops updating. Your reader will show the last posts it got, then nothing.
Feeds for a Reddit search or a person's posts stop too.
Moderators get tools for their own communities. Readers get nothing in their place.
A lot of what reaches Reddit is a link to a blog, a news site, a newsletter or a YouTube channel. Those publish their own feeds, and those keep working. Follow them directly and you get the post the day it's published, before anyone reposts it.
Substack, Ghost and WordPress sites all publish feeds by default. YouTube channels and podcasts do too.
Hacker News still publishes feeds for its front page and more. Here's how to follow it.
Reddit's website and app aren't affected. Only the feeds end.
Look through the subreddits in your reader and note which ones you follow for links to somewhere else: a blog, a site, a creator.
Add each site, newsletter or channel as its own feed. Most readers, Muuted included, find the feed if you paste the site's address.
Export your subscriptions as OPML now, so your list is yours whichever reader you use. How importing works.
Reddit says it will stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13, 2026. Subreddit, user and search feeds will stop updating in every feed reader on that date.
Only for moderators of their own communities. For everyone else Reddit says there is no replacement.
No. Blogs, news sites, newsletters, YouTube channels and podcasts publish their own feeds, and Reddit's change does not touch them.
Muuted shows you a notice in the app naming the ones affected, and it no longer adds new subreddits, so nothing goes quiet without you knowing. Everything else you follow is unaffected.
In Reddit's words, RSS had become “a common surface for large-scale scraping and automated abuse.” News coverage ties that to AI companies collecting training data.
