Anyone else's n8n Reddit workflows die in November? I ended up writing my own replacement
Back in November my n8n workflow that watched r/bitcoin for "crash" mentions just stopped working. Turns out Reddit ended self-service API keys — and the new approval process takes a week and rejects most indie devs without explanation (it rejected me).
So the built-in n8n Reddit node is effectively dead for anyone who can't get an enterprise-tier API key.
The workaround I've seen most people use is the HTTP Request node hitting `reddit.com/r/<sub>/new.json`, plus rolling their own dedup and retry logic. I rebuilt that twice across two different workflows, got tired of it, and packaged it as a community node so I'd stop reinventing it.
It's a polling trigger — subreddit + optional keyword + poll interval, fires the workflow on new matching posts. I made the output payload identical to the old built-in Reddit node so my downstream nodes (Telegram, Notion) didn't need any changes.
Source if anyone wants to look or fork: github.com/Reddwire-Official/n8n-nodes-reddwire (FSL-1.1-MIT, converts to MIT in 2 years).
Mostly curious — has anyone else hit this? Did you find a cleaner workaround I missed?
