Can FetchRSS Generate RSS Feeds from Social Media Pages?

Updated

Yes. FetchRSS states that creating an RSS feed from a social media page is even simpler than from a regular web page: you enter the URL you want to get an RSS feed from, and you receive your feed URL immediately. The source URL can come from various platforms, with Facebook pages, YouTube channels, and Reddit accounts given as examples.

How social media feeds differ from regular web page feeds

For a standard web page, FetchRSS runs a bot that scans the page and automatically detects news, posts, and articles — or you can specify exactly which content blocks you want using the visual RSS builder. For social media pages, the site describes the process as simpler: just enter the URL and the feed URL is returned right away.

Both paths end the same way. Each feed you create gets a unique URL stored in your account on FetchRSS servers, and you can use that URL in HTML on your website, share it with RSS readers, or plug it into any other RSS-related service.

Reddit account Yes

The site frames these as examples of "various platforms," not as a definitive compatibility list. If you need a specific platform confirmed, the practical check is to paste that URL into FetchRSS and see whether a feed is generated — the site itself recommends trying it rather than relying on a list.

What you get after the feed is created

  • Automatic updates. Once created, the feed updates on its own whenever new content appears on the target page. You don't regenerate it manually; FetchRSS says it continuously monitors each of your feed sources.
  • A unique URL per feed. Stored in your account and accessible from anywhere, usable in readers or embedded in HTML.
  • Alternative formats. Feeds are available in RSS and Atom, plus JSON and CSV for advanced use.
  • Fine-tuning. You can customize the feed's title, description, number of articles, and how images and videos display.
  • Filtering and modification rules. You can decide which articles appear based on various conditions, and set automatic modification rules so the output matches what you need.

Practical notes before you rely on it

  • Because social platforms change their page structures and access rules over time, a feed that works today may need adjustment later. Treat the "enter URL, get feed" step as the test, not a guarantee.
  • FetchRSS lists a Subscription page under account plans, so account and plan details are worth checking on the site if you plan to run multiple or long-term feeds.
  • If you want more detail on behavior or limits, the site points to its Frequently Asked Questions page as the first place to look.
