Reddit Feeds

ArkenBot can monitor subreddits and post a Discord notification whenever a new post appears. The bot checks every 5 minutes.

Requirements

Reddit blocks unauthenticated requests from server IPs, even for public subreddits. You must provide Reddit API credentials in the bot's .env file:

REDDIT_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret

Create a free script app at reddit.com/prefs/apps to get these values.

Setup

1. Go to Dashboard → Reddit Feeds
2. Click Add Alert
3. Enter the subreddit name (no r/ prefix needed — just gaming, worldnews, etc.)
4. Select the Discord channel to post in
5. Customize the message template using the available variables
6. Click Save

Message Variables

Variable	Replaced with
{streamer}	r/subreddit name
{title}	Post title
{author}	Reddit username of the poster
{url}	Direct link to the post

Example template:

New post in {streamer} by u/{author}: **{title}** — {url}

Managing Feeds

All configured feeds are listed on the page. Click the trash icon to remove a feed.

Tips

• You can add the same subreddit to multiple Discord channels with different message templates
• Avoid very high-traffic subreddits (e.g. r/AskReddit) unless you want frequent posts
• The bot only picks up new posts, not edits or comment activity
