Is it possible to follow communities in an instance like https://libreddit.kavin.rocks/r/ProfessorMemeology with a lemmy client?

You'd probably have to jump through several hoops to make that happen. Libreddit doesn't offer any ActivityPub API to follow directly, or even RSS feeds that might be used by a bot to post updates to Lemmy.

But subreddits still provide an rss feed, just add /.rss at the end, like this should work with any rss reader: https://www.reddit.com/r/fediverse/.rss So theoretically it should be possible, until they shut this "loophole" down

Yeah, I don't know anything about the state of open Reddit endpoints. Seems they're intent on closing down non-Google/Gemini access to some of them? 🤷

But if the /.rss "hack" helps setting up a Lemmy bot or at least track the communities with a feed reader, that's a small victory I guess?
