I selfhost freshrss and it's amazing. If the reddit privacy frontends go down due to the api changes, I'll lose those feeds but I already replaced them with lemmy feeds anyways :)
Fired up a FreshRSS instance for myself when the reddit API notifications came about. Reminds me of my Google Reader days - quite happy with it thus far. Any of the decent quality news sites seem to have an RSS option, at least in my experience so far.
It seems I've been missing out and I have a few more services to stand up over the weekend and try out. It's been refreshing this week avoiding reddit.
I’ve been enjoying NewsBlur since Google Reader went offline.
Anyone have any good suggestions for blogs to follow? I just downloaded inoreader and followed some of the suggested ones on there, but I used RSS so long ago I don't remember anything I used to really follow outside of my current interests.
Yeah, and this also applies to the fediverse as I've recently realized. X instance on a whim de-federating with W, Y and Z is just as bad. It just makes it a PITA to be a user. Plus one would think NSFW on an open platform would be better adopted but everyone avoids it like the plague. Only lemmynsfw is out there, and blocked from many places.
I'm setting up RSS to pull all the content I want from any place.
Does anyone have any tips on setting up RSS for twitter so it shows more content than what is just on the first page through the https://nitter.net/{{ twitter_account }}/rss method?
I've been using fritter but there's no longer a way to combine feeds from all accounts at once. And when it comes to setting up a regular RSS I run into the feed quantity limitation for each account.
After the closing of Google Reader and years of searching I settled a few years ago with Inoreader. I fully recommend it. They offer subscription discounts throughout the year where you can save ~40% of the cost.
Their webpage app is really good and the Android app is also extremely good and usable.
A great feature that I make use of is their option to create feeds from sites that don't offer RSS. Also I have connected Youtube so I have a feed with an update in my subscriptions
Completely recommended.
I use RSS every day- it's my primary source of news- but there are many sites I'd love to follow which don't have a feed. My reader, Inoeader, claims to have a workaround for it, but only on their paid version, which is stupid expensive.
I have a paid subscription in Inoreader for years and never paid full price, more around %60 of the amount. Keep an eye to days like Black Friday or so, they announce every year big discounts.
You can also queue those discounts if they appear before your subscription ends so you can keep benefiting from them for even longer
I've been using RSSHub and Miniflux for a while now, self-hosted. It's mainly how I read news.
Because of how many sites don’t use RSS feeds as much anymore, I’ve found it hard to adjust to them. I’ve been trying out the app Artifact as a sort of replacement but it’s not ideal (and everything has ads when I click through).
Still looking for a good solution for up to date, aggregated info on some of my favourite topics. This site comes pretty close but is still missing some things (for now).
I've been using the nextcloud RSS reader for a while now. Not the most feature rich, but it does the job for me.
ya but I dont want active control. I want passive control. I'm lazy. :(
I switched to feedbro, because the feeds started to fill with anxiety driven news. So i needed something with good filtering.
It's a browser plugin. Very modifiable, looks fine and behaves well. All that it misses is a way to sync. Has manual backups for feeds and filter-rules.
Tip. It can handle youtube channels and twitter users feeds.
