Why feeds stop working
Sites redesign and move their feed to a new address, blogs stop posting, publications close, and platforms switch feeds off. Most readers don't tell you; the feed just stops updating. Reddit ends RSS on November 13, 2026, so every subreddit feed in your reader stops that day. For the big subreddits, our Reddit page lists what each one links to, with a working feed for each, and the checker suggests those for you.
When a feed we know is broken, the checker suggests the address we check every day for the Signal 500, our hand-scored catalog of sources. Looking for more feeds worth following? The best RSS feeds lists them by topic.
