Do you use RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it’s is a simple, standardized content distribution method that can help you stay up-to-date with your favorite newscasts, blogs, websites, and social media channels. Instead of visiting sites to find new posts or subscribing to sites to receive notification of new posts, find the RSS feed on a website and read new posts in an RSS reader.

Do you use RSS to curate your own information feed? Looking to expand my sources to include different perspetives and new intereting topics and would love any suggestions.

I use fluent reader with the following rss feeds (though I really need to expand

I have a hosted rss reader/aggregate set up. But I only occasionally check it and read or go through a few.

Nemo ,

Yeah, of course. How else will I know when my various serialized content updates? Like, are people out there just checking a list of blogs and comics by hand every few days? I used to do that before RSS, and it suuuuuucked.

Yes

JTskulk ,

RSS is great! I use it for Slashdot, Youtube, some webcomics.

ElectroVagrant ,

Yep! There’s a community here for recommendations related to RSS too! !rssfeeds

I’ve recently realized that I may also want a different desktop app (so not necessarily involving a server) for reading RSS feeds than what I’ve been using. Was trying to use Thunderbird for this for the convenience of email/calendar/RSS, but I have this feeling that it may not be able to adequately handle some of the variations I’ve seen cropping up with some sites’ RSS (which may be those sites mucking it up more than anything to do with Thunderbird tbh but not sure).

Yup! I use Feeder as my RSS aggregator of choice

I subscribe to technology news sites and lgbtq+ news sites using it, since it’s waaay better than going into each site and finding an article that interests me, opposed to opening feeder and finding my links categorized by site

I stopped using RSS around when I started using Reddit, so around 2008-2009!
I'm surprised to see that it's still so popular, or has it gained traction again recently?
I didn't hear much about RSS in between 2010-2022 TBH.

It never really died, but it got a boost lately with people getting more critical about the sources they get the news from instead of relying on Google or Apple algorithms. Fediverse supporting RSS also didn’t hurt.

The whole podcast ecosystem is based on RSS. It’s more popular than ever. People just don’t realize that they’re using RSS.

realcaseyrollins ,

Yep, I use Read You on Android / LineageOS!

Bill ,

Yeah. I run my own FreshRSS server and use FeedMe to access it. It’s mostly just a bunch of UK newspapers and tech news sites because I realised I was getting all my news from Twitter and I wanted to cut back my use of Twitter. It’s fine. The great thing about getting my news from social media was that I’d follow a load of people with similar interests to me so I’d mostly just see articles that interested me regardless of the source. Now it takes more scrolling to get past the articles I don’t care about to find the ones I want to read. It means I get a broader overview of news that isn’t effectively curated for me, either by other people or by algorithm, but it’s not as engaging. It is the right choice though if you’re looking to see more outside of what you’re usually shown, as you say.

Woozy ,

I’ve been running tiny tiny tss (ttrs) server since google reader died. It’s been great & there’s an android app.

japps13 ,

There is also an iOS app. It is quite simple but it works well.

I have been an RSS user for the past 20 years. I use it for all sorts of stuff including current news, keeping up with technology, health, classified listings (craigslist), site updates, forums, etc.

I used GoogleReader for a long time (RIP), now I use Feedly which is amazing. I hit the ALL button so I get a firehose of news feeds which are sorted by timestamp, NOT some dumb algorithm choosing when and what I see.

As I tell everyone, whenever a current event happens in the world, I see 20+ different headlines from different sites spinning the same story. This lets me cut through the BS and see the real story about what's happening.

I subscribe to a few hundred RSS feeds including a bunch of random useless ones. But here's a few I picked that might be beneficial - note that some of these sites have multiple rss feeds depending on specific topics - be sure not to subscribe just to the main "top stories" feeds.

ABCNews , InvestorPlace, Associated Press, Ars Technica, The Nation, BBC News, CNN, Fox News, The Hill, LA Times, New York Times, MSNBC, Mother Jones, NBC News, NPR, Newsweek, Politico, Time, Scientific America, Slashdot, Techcrunch, TechRadar, The Atlantic, Boston Globe, The Independant, Motley Fool, Google News Top Stories, USA Today, Vox, Wired, Yahoo News, Cnet, Men's Health, TechRepublic, WallStreetJournal, TheStreet

I'd also love to hear some other news sources I can add to my subscriptions, because I know I'm missing a bunch of good ones

xder345 ,

Yes indeed. Feedly is great and available everywhere. Zero dollars paid ever.

thomasb2k ,

Yes! I use Feedly

xXxBigJeffreyxXx ,

I use Inoreader, it provides a great way to quickly get up to speed on the news, without relying on ‘human curators’ on reddit or twitter. I’ve been able to add lemmy and kbin community feeds no problem, and it currently serves as my ‘front page’, until lemmy itself becomes more stable.

Auto-de-duplication and word filters help me keep my sanity and avoid the constant musk-worship on tech sites.

9Volt ,

I do! I use the NetNewsWire app on iOS to read through my feeds. It’s also available on macOS.
