No, the internet has just become a place I no longer have the time or patience to explore or fully comprehend. Its a big pile of poop. I blame the corporations.

Where do I start with RSS? And it does seem about time to regain my sea legs.

This is going to sound like it makes everything more complicated but keep in mind this saves you the trouble of checking everything, instead it all gets put in one timeline.

A lot of it is used to give me manageable way to scrape parts of social media websites without worrying about accounts or bans or whatever, youtube/reddit/tumblr/substack/wordpress/x (via random nitter instance. this gets traffic heavy so I advise using farside.link or twiiit.com/ (username) /rss to split it up between multiple instances and don't refresh too often).

But I've realized almost every site I actually want to visit updates pretty regularly & has an rss feed.

The reader apps and sites on mobile are pretty bad. I'm still on old ios device most of the time so I use NetNewsWire, but it takes some getting used to & remembering to make OPML files out of lists of feeds (you just export them as a file them import it back it's not a big deal), swapping them out, or using folders, otherwise it's just spaghetti. Now that I'm used to it I can't operate without it lol. It gives you a completely open source way of adding push notifications to stuff. And it saves a ton of text offline so you can quickly search thru the customized feed you've accumulated.

FluentReader on Windows is very nice looking and shows images & plenty of text well, the expanded view is great, but hard to do anything other than dump in a whole OPML file & wipe it the customization is so bad. Didn't see notifications.

I don't even bother with nitter rss on mobile, i use nitter.cz/ibnriad,eyesonsouth1 to give you a quick example.

@Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net Oh also you get an inbox RSS feed on Lemmy. Which you could share with other people you're very codependent with, but that would be poor security practice.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
