Failed to load feed: <unknown>:2:0: syntax error for reddit rss feeds #26

Since a few days I cannot subscribe to reddit feeds anymore. I only get the error:
Failed to load feed: <unknown>:2:0: syntax error

The rss feed validator tells me:
id must be a full and valid URL: /.rss

So it seems that the feeds are indeed invalid, but that seems to be the case since a long time, at least I find results on this from a long time ago. So I don't know what made this happen.

A feed to test it (trying to subscribe should be enough): https://reddit.com/.rss

Confirm this, all feeds from reddit stopped working ten days ago.

A temporary workaround is fetching feeds from old.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com

That seems to be problem with reddit itself. Try contacting them.

Might require a way to set the user agent and/or handle ratelimit errors in the bot
