Check out [email protected]. The admin of lemmit.online has set up a bot that fetches reddit posts via RSS, making it much easier to make the switch and of course not getting any ads.

Also, these posts can then be cross-posted to help us create more content on lemmy native communities. Although I do recommend removing most of the post body when cross-posting. Alternatively you can turn the cross-post into a native post as if you simply were sharing content that you’ve seen on reddit, but with the perk of not having to load reddit.

You can make requests for subs to fetch at [email protected].

In the end we’re just using lemmy and lemmit’s bot as a simple RSS reader, so nothing illegal or even remotely unethical happening here.

    Too bad it will stop working in a few days

      RSS isn’t the API. On the other hand if this takes off, I’d suspect that they’ll end that too.

        They announced that they’ll also remove RSS under the original announcement post in the comments
