# Subreddit feed query

 * Hello,
 * I’d like to know if we can display the entire subreddit or are we limited to 
   showing just individual topics.
   If we can show the feed then how do i display
   the subreddit on my website. Or is it that I am mistaken and the plugin simply
   starts posting the subreddit posts as wordpress posts and vice versa.
 * I have downloaded the plugin and tried once but i couldn’t get it to display 
   the subreddit current content. Except for only in the settings where the tab 
   allows to choose the subreddit. There it shows all the posts from subreddit as
   a text list.
 * Kindly help.
   Regards.

 * Hi [@dholurockstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dholurockstar/),
   Thanks
   for reaching out. You’re asking if it is possible to display the latest sub-reddit
   items somewhere on the frontend of your website, possibly styled in the same 
   way it would be on reddit?
 * Is that correct? 
   Here’s the quick answer. The Radle plugin in its current capabilities
   does not provide this feature. Rather what it does is, as you highlighted, only
   will show discussion from a singular topic in a subreddit that was created using
   Radle from within a WordPress blog post. This allows blog posts to have a corresponding
   subreddit post that will power all of its discussion. We do show the latest subreddit
   posts in a list inside the Radle settings page, but this is only designed to 
   be a novel confirmation that the connection to the subreddit is good.
 * Would you mind describing exactly what you would like in as much detail as possible
   here? I’m open to considering adding your request into the plugin.

 * Hello,
 * Thank you for the response.
 * I will try to explain what i am looking for.
   I have come from a extensive streaming
   background with my community mostly on discord. But with time and personal reasons
   I had to move away from gaming.Now with my basic responsibilites done I am set
   on walking a path of self realization.For the same i floated this blog of mine.
   It contains my own realizations and instructions to myself. It also contains 
   what is entertaining for me. Games being a large part of it. I need a place for
   my friends to come chat and share their moments with me.I desperately searched
   for a forum solution. Of course there are so many of them but i could not find
   that can hand off site storage for media. My hosting will eventually lead to 
   storage issue eventually.
 * Therefor i turned to Discord but i could not find a way to embed it on the website.
   Yes there are ways to display channels but not interact with it.
 * So while plugin browsing i cam across your plugin. Created a subreddit, which
   for now they call it “Community”.
 * I installed and did the configs and realzied I may have misunderstood the plugin.
 * So, what i look for is:
   1. dynamically or asynchronously updating subreddit posts
   on on the website.2. Ability to comment on the website as a reddit user.
 * Simply put, using the subreddit on my website without moving to reddit website.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi [@dholurockstar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dholurockstar/), 
   Thanks
   for the explanation. So you would like the asset to:1) List all topics related
   to a subreddit2) Allow the user to authenticate with write access to the users
   account. 2) Allow user to navigate into a topic, and contribute comments to the
   topic from the WordPress site, from a custom comment area connected to the Reddit
   API. There’s an issue here that I ran into with Radle. If a users grants authorization
   with the `submit` scope, then they will be providing your application with the
   ability to publish as them across the entire Reddit ecosystem. This requires 
   a great deal of trust, a level most people would not be comfortable with. In 
   my personal opinion, its not something users will want to do and the amount of
   trust it requires will limit the application use case making it not attractive
   as a plugin to develop and distribute. If your users are your friends and they
   trust you, it may make a perfectly fine custom solution. Rather than provide 
   a custom UX for the Reddit API that is oAuth connected and allows for posting
   to reddit directly from the WordPress website, you could approach this in the
   same way I’ve made Radle, and just show the content of the subreddit (this does
   not require users to SSO because it will leverage one api key provided by the
   owner of the plugin to read the subreddit) — and then for any publishing activity
   you could send the reader directly to the reddit app. Thoughts so far?

 * Hello [@hudson-atwell](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hudson-atwell/) ,
 * Thanks for the response. I see what you mean. Its probably a great deal.
   Question:
   1. If a regular user/member of a the subreddit will post on the subreddit itself.
   Would it create a post here on my website? Or is it limited to my/moderator posting
   only?2. The comment system affects globally? So if set to “radle” for example,
   how can users comment on posts that existed before the installation of the plugin?
   I believe i saw “Comments Disabled” on my already existing posts when i chose“
   radle” comment system.

 * It depends on how the integration was setup. 
   The two ways I would imagine it
   working is:1) On page load, poll the Reddit API and load the data, cache it, 
   and render it on your front end. 2) Create a synchronization system that imports
   the data into a custom post type or custom table. The latter would be for deeper
   integration into WordPress’s core features such as post management, archiving,
   etc. Both would be a significant project, and I believe outside the scope of 
   what I would be willing to do for the free version of Radle, and I am not sure
   the demand would be high enough to justify adding this as a Pro feature to Radle
   pro. Would make a fun custom project, it would cost several grand to have someone
   from my team do it. The most I could offer for Radle free is a very simple rendering
   of the latest topics, like you see inside the settings. Drilling down into topics
   might be possible, too.

 * You would need to go into those old posts and create subreddit topics for them.
   Otherwise, with Radle enabeld, comments would stay disabled unless they have 
   a topic on reddit. 
   If this is an eye sore, I could improve the plugin to remove
   the “Comments disabled” message on these posts with no integration. Or if you
   linked me to one of the posts, I might could advise how to do this with CSS rules.

 * Hi,
   I have an update. I managed to run a simple HTML code to pull the reddit 
   feed to my website. You can see it here: [Feed link](https://dholu.me/community/)
   Try a page refresh if it doesn’t load in first try. (Should you wish to integrate
   it in your plugin as a “block” or something, please feel free to ask. I’d be 
   happy to share the code)Now with the feed display out of the way, i can finally
   focus on the functionality of your plugin as intended.Follow up question:1. With
   radle sync established, how would the discussion work. Will the comments made
   on my website post (synced to reddit via radle) update to reddit themselves, 
   or the discussion has to happen at reddit itself? Forgive me if this feels a 
   repetitive question.

 * Thanks! Someone might reach out here. We appreciate it!

 * Basically Radle offloads all commenting/posting to Reddit, while allowing reading/
   synching/displaying to be synced to the WordPress page. 
   So we can read, sort,
   and search from the blog, but if the reader wants to interact further (such as
   create a comment) they will need to open the post up through their reddit app,
   which all our links on the WordPress/blog side link to the reddit post. Does 
   that make sense?
