Reddit

Post new posts from a subreddit or a Reddit user to a channel automatically.

Get started in the dashboard

Follow new posts in a subreddit (r/name) or from a user (u/name).

  1. 1Turn on the Reddit module and open it in the dashboard.
  2. 2Enter r/name or u/name.
  3. 3Pick an Alert channel.
  4. 4Optionally pick a Role to ping and your own text in Custom text (optional).
  5. 5Click Follow on Reddit.

Custom text can be up to 500 characters and can use {name} (the name), {title} (the post title) and {url} (link to the post).

💡 Old items are not posted, only the ones that come after you added it.

How often is it checked?

  • Reddit is checked every 10 minutes.
  • If Reddit slows the bot down, it takes a break and tries again later.
  • If many new items show up at once, the bot posts at most 3 per check.

Commands

The commands need the Manage Server permission. Without channel: the channel you type in is used.

/reddit add subreddit: channel: ping: message:Follow a subreddit (r/name) or a user (u/name).
/reddit remove feed:Stop following one.
/reddit listShow what is followed.
/reddit test feed:Preview the newest item privately, without pinging anyone.

Good to know

  • A server can follow up to 30 subreddits and users.
  • Each can only be followed once per server. To change its channel, ping or text, remove it and add it again.
  • If one shows Failing, the last few checks failed in a row. Hover over it to see the error.
  • The bot needs View Channel, Send Messages and Embed Links in the channel.
  • Pinging @everyone is not allowed.
