RSS feeds: any good ones left?

I finally decided to get my RSS feeds organized today. Everything was going smoothly until I checked Reddit, where I was met with a massive disappointment. There is literally only one single feed that lumps together topics from every possible sub-reddit. It is completely useless.

A question for the admin:
Why aren't there more feeds organized by specific subreddits? What is even the point of this current, totally pointless feed?

Does the owner or the system admin even read this subreddit? Or should I just send an email? Does anyone actually look at those emails?

It’s pretty clear nobody is actually reading this...

Pathetic:

Share your feedback, ideas, or suggestions. How can we make Reddit better and more polished?

And yet, not a single person in charge is even paying attention...

search?

I don't quite get how this search engine even works:


Anyway, thanks...

The search tool won't even start if you enter fewer than four letters...

Ugh... 🙄

At least show an error message instead of acting like nothing was found at all. But whatever...

By the way, I still maintain that the Reddit admin should just set up separate RSS feeds rather than leaving users to struggle with their own little workarounds...

She doesn't even stumble very often, to be fair, but Google? Google trips over its own feet whether the stakes are high or low.

I probably should have waited, but honestly, it’s just faster to handle things myself than to sit around waiting on someone else to get their act together. That’s just how it goes, I guess.

It’s just my luck that things couldn't end on a high note. The RSS feed is still fundamentally broken. It only pulls in new threads instead of updates to existing ones. This makes the whole thing completely useless since you can't actually track any ongoing discussions. Here is a look at how ridiculous this is. These are the top five items from the feed versus the IT Support forum.
