I’ve recently got back to using an RSS feeds for most of my online content and have more appreciation now than as a teen pre early brid app when I kept up with gaming news. Like most of us here on Lemmy, Ive been getting off reddit but the only thing that kept me using it was the city subreddit. Initially I was using it for The Verge and a couple other tech and science sites which replaced those subreddits for me but out of bordem and curiosity I realized some local news events and ramblings websites convert almost perfectly in rss which replaces my use of reddit altogether. Substacks seem to work on RSS as well.
Curious to see if any of you use RSS and if so how do you use it?
https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder auto tags articeles as read as i pass on the feed. can predownload crap in the back. ui is minimal, but waaay better in functions compared to the rest i found on fdroid.
I use RSS Guard on my PC (works on Mac, Linux and Windows). Comes with powerful regex filtering, so I can really curate my feeds.
RSS seems kinda oldschool, but it’s still the best way I’ve found of keeping track of the things I care about. No fuss or social media bullshit, just information.
Never stopped. Now I also host a service that can convert some sites to an RSS feed when they don’t have one.
What service is that?
Rss-bridge
Probably rss-bridge, I gave up in it after a few months. Constant failures.
What RSS readers do people like? I used to love Google Reader!
I got fed up with Feedly and moved onto Inoreader. I’ve been happy since.
Currently using Fluent Reader for desktop. I’ll never not use RSS for news.
I’m using Feeder on android at the moment. No issues so far
Cappy Reader is nice
FreshRSS and CapyReader (synced to FreshRSS).
I am using Liferea
Yeah, use them for Feedly or whatever the FOSS app is for news.
I used to use it as a mailing thread I would write a blog in short sentences and the system of updated notifications was a lot more easier and I was able to format a page with some info and text as it wasn’t secure yet but when I had made its availability to reach people for certain amount of time it became a way to make friends with our social media and would receive emails building a contact list. I had liked apples original rss feed when they had it attached to email and opened a server on a MacBook but it was experimental. Now you have to pay for stuff like that since this site had came out I had really liked how it’s categorized and organized in text but could use a better notification system like availability to reach servers that ping online which I think they used to have a p2p server like that for Apple as well
i use it to read news - love rss.
i started isng it again. its a great way to keep up with news rather than what the algorithm tells you you should see. i highly suggest to follow your local councils news feed too
I mostly use it to monitor individual feeds for chatty, talkradio-esque mp3 files that I then download and play from my personal devices. I’ve taken to calling them “podcasts” ;)
Yup! Never stopped. I happily moved all my feeds from newsblur to a self-hosted aggregator a few months ago (using Tiny Tiny RSS atm after a couple months on Tuvix). I follow tech news, comics, general news, FOSS project releases (also yaaarh releases).
Yep. Feedly since like 2010
Pretty much every Fediverse project I’ve seen uses RSS. Want to follow someone on Mastodon without and account? RSS. It’s built in. Follow a person, hashtag, etc.
Gancio, federated calendar app, you can use RSS.
Peertube, follow a channel via RSS.
I use the Matrix RSS bot in a news channel to follow bunch of tech stuff.
RSS is the way. :-)
Follow releases on github? just add /releases.atom to the project’s URL.
Ya never stopped using it. Trimmed some feeds as publications come and go. Miss the golden days but holy cow it’s still good.
Yep, I prefer it for my news feed.
