What's changing?
Reddit is discontinuing its RSS feeds on November 13, 2026. This means any Applets using a Trigger from the RSS Feed service with a reddit.com feed URL will stop receiving new items after that date.
The good news is that IFTTT's Reddit service is not affected. It connects directly to Reddit, so you can continue automating Reddit activity by updating your existing Applets to use the Reddit service instead.
How to update your Applets
There are two ways to make the switch. You can use IFTTT Chat to find and update your Applets automatically, or update them yourself.
Option 1: Let IFTTT Chat update your Applets
IFTTT Chat can find your existing Applets that use Reddit RSS feeds and help replace their triggers with the matching Reddit triggers.
- Go to ifttt.com/create.
- Enter the following prompt:
Find every Applet of mine that uses the RSS Feed service with a reddit.com feed URL. For each one, replace the RSS Feed trigger with the matching Reddit trigger (https://ifttt.com/reddit):
- Any new post in subreddit for a subreddit feed with a keyword, using that keyword in Search for.
- New post from search for a search feed.
- New post by specific user for a user's feed.
- New comment in subreddit for a comments feed.
Keep the actions as they are, and show me each change before you save it. Skip subreddit feeds with no keyword and list them for me.
Review the proposed changes before approving them. Any subreddit feeds without a keyword will need to be updated manually using Option 2 below.
Option 2: Update your Applets manually
You can also update your Applets individually. First, use the table below to find the Reddit trigger that best matches your existing RSS feed.
| Your RSS feed URL | Replacement Reddit trigger |
|---|---|
reddit.com/r/name/.rss or /r/name/new/.rss
|
Any new post in subreddit (leave Search for blank to receive all posts, or add keywords to filter) |
reddit.com/search.rss?q=... |
New post from search |
reddit.com/user/name/.rss |
New post by specific user |
reddit.com/r/name/top/.rss |
New top post in subreddit |
reddit.com/r/name/hot/.rss |
New hot post in subreddit |
reddit.com/r/name/comments/.rss |
New comment in subreddit |
Private feeds containing ?feed=
|
New post saved by you (for saved posts only) |
Then follow these steps:
- Connect the Reddit service at ifttt.com/reddit.
- Open an Applet that uses a Reddit RSS feed and select Edit.
- Replace the RSS Feed trigger with the matching Reddit trigger from the table above.
- Configure any search keywords as needed, then save your Applet.
