    url: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/new/

new Post by User:

    url: https://www.reddit.com/user/alienth/

The comments on a specific reddit post:

on:
  reddit:
    url: https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1uc9ro/wearing_a_mind_controlled_exoskeleton_a_paralyzed/

A multireddit:

Multiple reddit:

on:
  reddit:
    url:
      - https://www.reddit.com/user/alienth/
      - https://www.reddit.com/r/news/
    config:
      limit: 15

Or, you can use the full RSS URL:

on:
  reddit:
    url: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/.rss

Options

• url, required, string or string[], when url is string[], then multiple Reddit feeds can trigger the action. All reddit URL supported .rss suffix is valid value.
• source, optional, rss or json, the default value is rss, if source is rss, we'll use https://www.reddit.com/hot/.rss as the source, if source is json, we'll use https://www.reddit.com/hot/.json as the source
• client, optional, axios or puppeteer-fetch, only works when source is json, the default value is axios
• sleep, optional, default sleep time ms, only works when source is json, the default value is 2000
