According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.

EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.

By the way, how to RSS your lemmy communities?

There's an RSS tag on instances and communities, at least when looking at it via a web browser. Is at an indiviual instance or community level, though - as far as I know you can't export your subscribed communities to link them all to an RSS reader in one go.

At least, there is for sh.itjust.works, dunno about other instances. See above blue smudge below.

I would like the majority to keep using the ad infested web so I can use RSS and Lemmy.

If everyone used RSS, companies would quickly complain that they don't make money on their shitty web sites.

For me it has to do with this

  1. I want a feed that updates based on my subscription
  2. That subscription content could be anything, blog posts, updates on a Wikipedia page (to keep up to date with a news story that is out of the limelight), or get updated with a XKCD comic

RSS meets both these, dead simple. It's also low in data usage, but it's for those reasons that I recently started using RSS after leaving it years ago.

P.S. I believe some blame goes toward "fragmentation", i.e. we still need to check a couple of websites for something new. RSS solves that by bringing all that into one place

Does that chart include actual RSS hits or only "RSS" used in things like this post and my questions? Or does it read minds to find their interest in RSS?
