  HTML   Reddit RSS feeds recent rate limiting and solution

        It would help if Reddit used the standard Retry-After HTTP header, but
        otherwise I don't see why more than one request per minute is necessary
        for the expected use of RSS feeds.

          I think the question is it a per-feed rate limit or an all-feeda rate
          limit. If the former then yeah, a complete non-issue. But if it is a
          global limit than for people following a decent number of feeds it
          can definitely be an issue.

        RSS feeds supposed to be the cheapest way to read data from your
        website, they are not pulling whole 10MB of javascript and other
        assets, but, yeah, let's block those. Everyone will just send their
        "llm agents" to pull data from regular website anyway.

          The assets aren't a problem in 2026, they are in an edge cache.
          
          The RSS feed can't be cached for long, and AI crawlers will be making
          millions of requests to these.

        Let it die. The internet will never evolve because people just bent
        over and took it when Reddit and Twitter closed themselves off and went
        hostile in 2023.

        It's no wonder all my feeds are red. The internet is becoming so
        restricted! It's really sad.

          Same with youtube. I only log into my Google account like once a
          month to check Gmail (it's not my daily driver), and I just
          "subscribe" to channels using RSS. But so often my feeds are red. Not
          always, but a lot of times at night (UTC-4) for sure.

        That explains quite a bit. I thought to myself that I've got less mail
        than usual today, and assumed one of my local cron jobs had failed. But
        now I noticed it's the Reddit feeds gone quiet.
