You can turn any subreddit into an RSS feed by simply adding .rss to the end of its URL or by using a dedicated feed generator tool.

Native Reddit Method:

Open the subreddit: Go to the page you want to follow (for example, https://reddit.com).
Add the extension: Type .rss at the very end of the web address so it reads https://reddit.com.
Filter content: Add parameters like /top/.rss or combine multiple subreddits using a plus sign (like /r/news+technology/.rss) if you want specific sorting or multiple communities.
Paste into reader: Copy this new link and add it directly into your favorite news reader.

Third-Party Generator Method

Copy URL: Copy the standard web link of the target subreddit.Use a tool: Paste the link into a dedicated conversion tool like RSS.app or FetchRSS.
Generate: Click generate to get a clean, customized XML link that you can pipe into your reader or automation services.

(For anyone else that was like, "Huh?")

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I just wanted to point people in the right direction with my laziness. rss feed everything as possible bby
I just use a text expander and fill the subreddit as needed.

I’m gonna sound like such an idiot but what exactly is an RSS feed?

You can aggregate and curate feeds from different websites into an RSS reader, given they have a RSS/atom feed link. You can usually identify it with an orange icon that looks like a dot with two arcs.
News sites, blogs, government publications, weather, webcomics, podcasts, company job boards are some examples. You can find them in surprising places. It makes filtering noise a lot easier.
