RSS is great! Internet comes to you rather than the other way around. And its good in almost every device, even ebook readers.

The only issue is when websites tell you, ok there was an update, go to link here. And then you have to do one extra step. Its still better than endlessness scrolling though.

I use it with fediverse stuff too. Because accounts/communities can be RSS.

I just wish there was a way to do like top 10 of a community, then send it over via RSS for threadiverse stuff. Or even just the #hashtag topics mastodon and other use. That would be awesome.

It's strange that the author only checks offline readers. I selfhost FreshRSS, and I love that I can just switch between my desktop and phone, and read the next article on the bus or somewhere else. For those not into selfhosing aforementioned FreshRSS offers some free and paid 3rd party options: https://www.freshrss.org/cloud-providers.html

The other RSS tool I can't live without is the Firefox addon Want My RSS: It adds a little RSS icon on the sidebar on websites which has feeds, so while browsing it's just one click and you are subscribed! https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/want-my-rss/

I mentioned this in another thread, but I never ditched RSS. It's simply too convenient to keep track of multiple sites, that you want to check regularly but would be a bother to do manually. Youtube channels, anime/manga/comics sites, even the communities you moderate.

I'm glad to see people picking it up again, though. Perhaps then Liferea will see a bit more love.
