Reddit Blocks Reliable RSS Access for Self-Hosted Feed Readers

A self-hosted RSS reader user struggles to pull Reddit content into their feed aggregator, hitting timeouts and blocks that don't affect other sites. Community responses suggest this is a known, largely unsolved annoyance, with most people giving up and just using Reddit's own app instead of persisting with RSS relays.

Founders manually hunting social platforms for users face shadow-ban risk and time drain

Early-stage founders spend hours daily searching Reddit and Facebook for relevant conversations, then crafting responses that avoid triggering shadow bans — a process that is both time-intensive and fragile. Existing tools like GummySearch and ReplyGuy partially address monitoring and reply generation but lack robust anti-spam protection and natural-sounding output. A unified tool combining keyword monitoring, AI-assisted natural replies, and shadow-ban risk scoring would fill a clear gap.
