Follow Reddit in Feedly – Feedly Blog

Reddit is “home of thousands of communities, endless conversations, and authentic human connection.” It can be an amazing resource for finding the best insights on topics and trends you care about.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the new Reddit integration for Feedly! You can now connect your Reddit account to Feedly and pull content from communities and searches directly into your Feeds.

Then, use the power of Feedly AI to surface important Reddit content and filter out noisy posts.

Follow Reddit communities in Feedly

Reddit communities are goldmines for conversations on specific topics. When you add a Reddit community as a source in Feedly, you can organize it into a Feed alongside any of the 10 other types of sources in Feedly, like news sources, email newsletters, and Twitter.

To get started, Click the ‘+’ button in the left navigation bar and choose the ‘Reddit Feeds’ tab. 

After you connect your Reddit account, you can search for your favorite community. Enter the community name or URL in the search bar, for example: Futurology or reddit.com/r/Futurology/.

Follow Reddit searches

You can follow a Reddit search in Feedly so anytime new content is published that matches your search, you’ll see the new posts in your Feeds.

To follow a search, type your Reddit search directly into the search bar in the ‘Reddit Feeds’ tab.

You can also create an advanced search query in Reddit and then paste the finished URL of the search into Feedly.

Read linked articles directly in your Feedly

If a Reddit post links to an article, Feedly AI will pull the content of the article into your Feedly. You can read it, save it to a Board, add Notes or Highlights, or tag a teammate.

Ask Feedly AI to prioritize specific topics, companies, or business events

Once you’ve set up your sources, it’s time to put Feedly AI to work to help you filter out the noise. 

Feedly AI will read every post published to the Reddit communities and searches you’ve followed. He’ll put the content mentioning the topics, companies, or business events you prioritize.

Feedly AI will look for your Priorities in both the posts and the articles they link out to. For example, if you prioritize SpaceX (the company), Feedly AI looks through all community posts and any linked articles to find mentions of SpaceX. It’ll add articles mentioning SpaceX to your Priority tab.

Ask Feedly AI to mute noisy Reddit posts

Just like any other piece of content in Feedly, you can ask Feedly AI to mute posts about topics you don’t care about, so you only see essential news in your Feeds.

To create a Mute Filter, go to ‘Manage Leo’ → ‘Mute Filters’ to mute content about a topic or keyword.

Feedly AI reads both the content of the Reddit post and any linked content to decide whether or not to mute a post.

Examples of ways to use Reddit in Feedly

Let’s look at some ways Feedly users can use the Reddit integration to stay on top of updates in their industries:

A journalist wants to stay on top of updates in the finance business industry

While researching the finance business industry, a journalist can add a Reddit search for “blockchain” in their “Finance Business” Feed to stay on top of authentic conversations related to the topic.

An HR manager wants to keep up with insights and opinions on company benefits

To keep a finger on the pulse of people’s opinions of company benefits and work/life balance, an HR manager can follow Reddit communities about the company, and about areas like r/HumanResources and r/CareerSuccess.

An angel investor wants to keep up with startups they invest in

To learn as much as possible about the startups they invested in — without spending hours sifting through Reddit — an angel investor can follow searches for the names of each startup and add them to a “Startup” Feed. Then, they can layer an AI Model for product launches on top of that “Startup” Feed. Content about product launches related to specific startups will show up in their Priority tab.
