I built a lightweight way to follow Reddit without using the Reddit app

I have been working on Your News (an RSS reader) for over 2 years, and I recently shipped an update that makes Reddit support a lot better.

You can follow subreddits via RSS and read everything inside the app. The in-app reader now uses the Reddit API directly, so:

• posts load in the app (no Reddit app or browser redirect)
• nested comments
• no Reddit account needed

One thing to know: you will want to enable the in-app reader under Settings → Reader mode → In-app reader. That is what gives you the full experience.

It is not meant to replace Reddit fully, but it works well if you:

• want less distraction
• prefer a cleaner reading experience
• or just want to keep up with a few subreddits

It is also a general RSS reader, so YouTube channels and regular feeds all work alongside your subreddits in one place.

Curious if this would be useful to others here. If you try it out, feedback or feature suggestions are more than welcome.
