Reddit. A subreddit name. The r/ prefix is stripped automatically, so r/SaaS and SaaS both work. Read either through Reddit's official Data API on a shared platform-level credential, or, without one configured, Reddit's native public per-subreddit feed. Never through a logged-in session.
RSS. Any RSS or Atom feed URL, plus a name so you can recognise it later.
Every feed and subreddit anyone tracks, across every brand, is read once on a shared schedule, always at the same depth. A brand's own sources are a subscription to that shared read: which keywords matter to you, your minimum score, your daily cap. There is nothing to configure about how often or how deep the underlying feed itself is read.
Scan now, at the top of the page, reads every one of your enabled sources without waiting for its turn in the shared schedule. Use it right after adding a source, so it does not sit empty until the schedule comes around.
The per-row Scan does the same for just that one source, for example right after editing its keywords.
A button that reads your persona and existing keywords, and proposes subreddits worth adding.
It is advisory. Nothing is saved, and the output is sanitised down to plausible subreddit names. Check each one exists and is actually relevant before adding it.
A blank persona makes the suggestions useless, and the page warns you about that. See Persona.

Per-source settings
Max drafts is the important one
It exists because a busy subreddit will otherwise consume the whole scan and starve every other source. Per-source caps mean sources do not compete.
Give a high-volume subreddit a low cap and a niche feed a higher one.
There is no per-brand scan interval or depth

Source health
Each source records its last run, how many items came back, how many were new, the last error, and consecutive failures.
Consecutive failures is the number to watch. It is what separates a feed that was quiet today from one that has been dead for a fortnight.
Choosing sources
Fewer and more specific beats more and broader. Three subreddits where your people actually are will produce a better queue than fifteen general ones.
Start with 2 or 3, tune the keywords and minimum score for a week, then add more.

Was a source, was removed. RSS and Reddit are what exist now.
