This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I'm gonna shill for FreshRSS and Feed Me. Been a fantastic combination so far.
Self hosting FreshRSS allows me to curate shit I care about. Even better, it's private aggregation. Sometimes though, I miss the conversation around these topics. For that, Lemmy exists.
I'm using Feeder app and it's the best. Others are resource heavy and light apps won't load the whole story instead redirects. Which is a problem. Feeder on the other hand, free open source privacy respecting light app which shows the whole story in the app itself. Very very useful and not a disturbing one.
So I just downloaded feeder (edit okay I made a lite app with Hermit) but does anyone had a good way to setup a default set of feeds?
Just something to get started. I'll play around with it later but maybe someone can save me some time...
You can import a bunch of rss feeds at once if they are saved as a .opml file, and you can find a big ol' list of 'em at https://github.com/plenaryapp/awesome-rss-feeds
Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for! Thank you.
I love TinyTinyRSS (self hosted) and lire for iOS which syncs with it. Very powerful setup. I have issues with overusing social media sites so I have sites like Lemmy do the "Top Week" and so on for areas I'm interested in.
Another Feedly user, here. Definitely the way to go after the death of Google Reader.
My only concern with it is that I'd prefer any advertisement revenue to go to the original website with the content I want. Fortunately, if the website's ads aren't intrusive, I just disable ad block on that site and click through to it, giving them the views they need to keep going.
i remember in high school (2010s) i tried using RSS but increasingly the feed wouldn't even have the article, just the title and the link so you'd have to visit their website. especially obnoxious because my obnoxious school district filtered approx 90% of the internet (for shocking reasons like 'forums' or 'TV/entertainment' or 'sports' or 'media')
Does anyone have a list of sites with good RSS feeds? News sites preferably - I’m having a hard time finding some of them.
I don't know what client you're using, but Inoreader usually finds the RSS feed even if the webpage does not link to it
As someone who has only dipped his toe into this tech, and into podcasts, for that matter, what's the best android app to use for this?
I don't really want to use Spotify, etc. Is there a preferred independent and/or FOSS that people like?
I have an instance of freshrss feeding into feedme and it's awesome. I went with feedme because it's got a built in mobilizer that you can customize if the feed doesn't have the whole article content.
I use Feeder for RSS feeds
Used Google Reader and now use Feedly. I go ahead and pay for Feedly since I like it enough to do so.
I can't imagine not using RSS to consume stuff. It just makes things so much easier.
RSS is my everyday goto, I'm using QuiteRSS with filters for specific words, really neat one.
I highly recommend NewsBlur if you don’t want to host your own.
I started fiddling with a self hosted rss thing but never got around to putting the app on my new phone. I might give a different one a try sometime it was kinda basic.
Inoreader ftw!
