You can also add .rss to subreddit urls and get rss feeds.

Given that rss is _designed_ to be read by "bots" i.e. computer programs, what is Reddit's stance there? Do they also consider it "bypassing API restrictions"?

that's what I do. I suppose the Reddit folks do not care about the rss because either they forgot about it, or because it doesn't serve the full content, so it's not useful for apps.

My trick: subscribe to the "top weekly" feeds for each of your subs, which keeps the fire hose at a very manageable level.
