RSS feeds end November 13, 2026; public Data API access wound down by March 2027

Reddit said in an r/modnews post on September 30, 2026 that it would "stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13, 2026," because "RSS is now a common surface for large-scale scraping and automated abuse." Its October 2026 Mod Monthly newsletter gave a timeline for moving public Data API apps and bots to the Developer Platform: new requests for public API access stop being accepted on October 31, 2026; API access removal begins January 12, 2027 for apps and users that have not registered or responded to Reddit's outreach; and remaining public API access ends in March 2027. Reddit said there is no RSS replacement for feeds outside a community a user moderates.
