How it works

  1. 1Type a subreddit name (with or without r/) or paste its URL.
  2. 2Pick a feed: hot, new or top. For top, choose the time window.
  3. 3The posts appear in that order, each with its score, comment count and link.

What you get

  • Post title, linked to the post on Reddit
  • Author
  • Score and comment count
  • Post age
  • Media marker for image and video posts

Use cases

  • Read a community's front page without signing in or installing the app.
  • Sort by top for the past week to see what a subreddit rewards.
  • Check the newest posts in a niche community every morning.
  • Study titles that did well before you write your own.

How the subreddit viewer works

The subreddit viewer loads a community's feed as a logged-out visitor would see it and shows it as a plain list of title, author, score, comments and age. You don't need a Reddit account, and nothing about your visit is tied to one.

It comes in handy when Reddit keeps pushing you to open the app or log in, or when you want to glance at a feed without the rest of the site around it. Click any title to open the post on Reddit.

This page removes adult posts from the list. Media posts get a small marker instead of loading images or video.

Hot, new or top: which feed to pick

Each feed answers a different question.

  • Hot: what the community is talking about right now. Reddit mixes recent posts with ones that are picking up votes quickly, and this is the front page most members see.
  • New: every post in the order it was submitted, newest first. Use it to catch posts before they get buried or to see how active a community really is.
  • Top: the highest-scoring posts in a time window you choose, from the past day to all time. Top for the past week is the fastest way to learn which formats, tone and length a community rewards.

An empty feed can mean the community is private or just quiet. Switch to top with a longer window to see older posts.

Read subreddit feeds from your code

The API offers the same feeds at /docs/tools/reddit-subreddit-posts, plus rising and controversial. Each call returns a page of posts and a cursor for the next page, so a script or AI agent can follow a community without scraping.

For a community's size, rules and moderators, open Subreddit Stats. To find communities on a topic first, use the Subreddit Finder. To search posts by keyword across Reddit, try Reddit Post Search.

Questions

Can I view a subreddit without a Reddit account?
Yes. The viewer reads public feeds as a logged-out visitor sees them, so you never sign in to Reddit.
Does it work for private subreddits?
No. Private and banned communities hide their posts from logged-out visitors, so the viewer reports that the subreddit was not found.
Can I read the comments too?
Click a title to open the post on Reddit. To read or save a whole thread as data, use the Reddit Comment Exporter.
Why don't I see adult posts?
This page removes posts marked NSFW. Signed-in users who turn on 18+ tools in Settings can include them through the API.
Is this tool free?
Yes. Each visitor gets 10 free runs a day, and each run shows the first rows of the result. With a free account you see the full page, and the API has no daily cap beyond your credits and rate limit.
Is this affiliated with Reddit?
No. ChatterAPI is independent and not affiliated with Reddit, Inc. or X Corp.
