Reddit: personalized rss feed is being overridden with general reddit popular feed

problem
1

Ive been using a personalized feed from reddit for a long time in newsblur. “front page” from https://www.reddit.com/prefs/feeds/

It started showing me only the general popular reddit feed and not the posts from the feed i actually added. The feed is public and no auth is needed.
I removed/readded but it still ignores the content from the actual feed address (i’ve checked it with other rss readers and the feed is working)

This may be related to Reddit feeds seem to ignore "/top" in the path and the query string of the feed URL …?

Yep, same issue. I had to rewrite the reddit fetcher to get around API limits and this is unhandled so far. I’ll get to it soon!
