Who still uses RSS?
@Vordus Oh it counts.
@killyourfm I have a minflix instance setup still subscribed to RSS feeds. Though I have not been paying much attention to it as of late.
@killyourfm
🙋I use the flatpak for https://github.com/martinrotter/rssguard
I've always found it a nice way to start the morning
@killyourfm is there any better way of aggregating stuff into one place?
I use RSS not only for news sites, but also for Youtube channels, webcomics and few subreddits.
Client that I use is https://www.commafeed.com because it uses full screen width, like Google Reader did.
still on the instance that developer hosts, but I will set up self-hosted one soon.
@testman So many people have no idea you can use it for youTube and Reddit!
@killyourfm @testman I have a few github repos setup so that I get notified when they publish a new release 🙂

@killyourfm I've been using it forever and recently introduced it to my wife, mainly for news. So far she loves it too !
@killyourfm *raises hand*
@killyourfm I do, a lot. Even things like reddit, tumblr, a few select twitter accounts (through nitter) and youtube channels I'll follow through RSS instead. But mostly sites/blogs and webcomics.
I'm very happy that Vivaldi has built-in RSS support. Not the best interface, but since Firefox killed live bookmarks which I am still salty about...
@killyourfm yes, every day. Both for articles (feed reader) and for podcasts (Overcast). One of the better inventions of the internet.
@killyourfm Paying subscriber of Newsblur here. I use that for my news plus Insta/Facebook scrapers to turn public local business profiles into RSS feeds since I don't have a Facebook account and you can't look at any public page without logging in.
@killyourfm
About a thousand last time I counted.
Plus podcasts
Should probably open source this one, I use it as a newspaper but others could probably do more,
Backend is meilisearch
@killyourfm I do
Yes, I use Tiny Tiny RSS (in Docker). I also use https://kill-the-newsletter.com to funnel newsletters to RSS.
@killyourfm hi :)
@killyourfm I do 😊
@killyourfm every day. I run a tinytinyrss instance for an aggregator accessible from anywhere.
@killyourfm of course for podcast and all the news site i'm interested it are in my news reader, that works with RSS. i had even to ask some sites for the RSS Feed.
@killyourfm yup, as a source for chatbots and my feedreader of course. There are rss/atom feeds for GitHub projects, too. Nice way to stay informed about new releases.
@killyourfm I use RSS every single day. It's the backbone of podcasting, of course, but I also have many feeds running into my Inoreader account. RSS is one of the more remarkable yet little known innovations of the web.
@killyourfm i host my own freshrss. Access to one list of finely curated crap on my every device!
@killyourfm I do, best way to have some level of control on your news.
@killyourfm does Feedly count? I use it for YouTube (some of the account I follow have been demonetized and YouTube doesn’t even let subscribers know when they drop). That’s not entirely the reason why I moved all my subscriptions though.
@killyourfm podcasts, news articles and GitHub updates for different projects. It's an essential for me tbh!
@killyourfm I currently follow around 30 blogs, newsletters, and webcomics via RSS, with more added anytime I come across someone’s site whose writing I find interesting or entertaining. I would love if Thunderbird’s RSS support had some way of syncing the read/unread status of articles across computers/the forthcoming mobile app, whether that meant integrating with external RSS reader services or some kind of Thunderbird account.
@killyourfm I will always use RSS.
@killyourfm can't live without it. I'm using feedly as rss reader.
@killyourfm I am an Rss addict. I have more than 500 #RSS feeds. I use it for Youtube, Reddit, podcasts, blogs,...
@killyourfm The closest thing to RSS I use is whatever comes through my feeds on Reddit, Twitter, or Apple News. (I used to use a Google Feed though). RSS on its own is unbearably stripped for my needs. I need something that intelligently provides content to me rather than just being a pile of whatever comes down the garbage chute each day.
@Schykle I can NOT get Apple News to cooperate with me and properly learn what I don't want. A shame because I love how it delivers the content.
@killyourfm Ah, dang! That's a shame. It is really hard because I have noticed that getting Apple News to do the right thing takes a lot of fiddling and time for it to get to the right space.
Very frustrating and it took me months, to be totally honest.
@killyourfm I do; I like that it basically gives me the ability to curate my own news feed from sources that *I* specify, rather than some algorithm doing it for me.
Also great for keeping up with blog posts from e.g. GNOME and Fedora
@killyourfm here!
@killyourfm I literally just started!
@Mundon This is awesome: https://youneedfeeds.com
@killyourfm Thanks :)
@killyourfm I do, via Feedly. That way I have it available on all devices, on home or on the go.
@killyourfm Me!
@killyourfm well I listen to a shitload of podcasts, if that counts.
