First let me say - SCREW YOU GOOGLE FOR SHUTTING DOWN GOOGLE READER. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE AND I WILL NEVER FORGET.

I moved over to NewsBlur for my aggregator, and I’ve been really happy with it. It’s a small team, and the dev is very responsive to issues and suggestions. Reading articles online is quick because it uses many of the same keyboard shortcuts that GReader used.

On my iPhone I rotate between Fiery Feeds, Unread, and NewsBlur’s app to read my articles on mobile.

Another hand in the air for Feedly.

Same. Specifically I use it as a GUI to organize them; for the actual reading, I wrote a script that compiles an E-mail digest periodically: https://github.com/it-is-wednesday/miniflux-mail-digest

I use fresh rss since its rather easy to selfhost, and read you on my android. Unfortunately read you doesn't play well with fresh rss yet.

+1

It was only about a week ago I had no idea what RSS was used for. And today I've subscribed to Inoreader to trial it out for a month because it's freaking amazing!

[-] ksp@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I use an instance of FreshRSS (but I plan on hosting my own) and I use NetNewsWire to access it on iOS

[-] jimrob4@midwest.social 7 points 1 year ago

Feedly on the web and my phone (cause cloud sync and blah blah blah)

Newsboat on my Linux box that I ssh into when I'm tired of people and ads.

+1 for miniflux, has all the features and it's really light.

I didn't know about news, might give it a look. I've been using Microflux on Android.

[-] alphapro06@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

NetNewsWire

the android app Nunti.

I get easily overwhelmed by busy feeds and not checking every day, so their completely-offline interest algorithm concept is helpful for me

[-] wanghis_khan@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I straight up don't understand how RSS works.

[-] dan@upvote.au 3 points 1 year ago

Individual sites have RSS feeds, which are essentially just XML files that contain a list of all the articles on the site.

You run software that's referred to as a feed reader, which contains a list of all the RSS URLs you want to subscribe to. It either periodically checks to see if there's updates to the RSS files, or gets notified of updates via WebSub.

[-] wanghis_khan@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This seems great for keeping up on your favorite blogs.

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Definitely :)

It used to be the main way people followed their favourite blogs. Google had a great product called "Google Reader" for RSS, and people were pretty upset when it was shut down.

Before Google Reader, it was pretty common for email clients to support RSS too.

[-] huojtkeg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Nemo@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

When google Reader was binned I used theoldreader for years, but eventually migrated to Feedly because it synched between my PC and smartphone.

I use the news-app of my Nextcloud to aggregate and manage the feeds. To actually read them I connect the news-app with Nextcloud.

[-] giant_smeeg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Feeder on android. Simple open source and does device sync.

Recently stopped using feedly.

[-] kratoz29@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

and does device sync.

Only for Android doesn't it? I mean no sync with web, iOS or other devices.

[-] AgnosticMammal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately right. The dev has no interest in adding external rss reader support

My question would be: What do you read on a RSS feed, I had one when I was trying to find a different way to read the news, but it didn't hold because I found news too repetitive and only talking about scary things that rarely actually impacted me, so I'd be curious to know what people use them for

[-] Nusm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I’ve got tons of feeds for sites that interest me. I organize them into folders by subject. I have a folder for online comics, iPhone sites, news sites, sports sites, technology sites, and pen-related sites just to name a few.

[-] Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use it as intended; a way to aggregate data into one place. I use mine for podcasts, reddit, discord announcements, steam patch notes, and of course news.

I’ve been using NetNewsWire and it’s ability to sync through iCloud so I can read stuff on my phone or MBA. Bonus that it’s FOSS!

[-] TiffyBelle@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

The one built into the Vivaldi web browser.

[-] Nixon@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use News Explorer on both iOS and OSX.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id1032668306

I think it’s one of the best.

[-] RamesesKnibs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've got Feedbro running on a server, sending Twitter posts to Discord. Works well with Reddit posts too

[-] fkrauthan@lemmy.cogindo.net 2 points 1 year ago

Self hosted Tiny Tiny RSS instance with the Tiny Tiny RSS for Android app. Works really well and never had any issues.

[-] AgnosticMammal@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

This might actually help me move away from feedme and greader for android. Both of these apps support Feedly, but the development cycle is extremely slow to resolve some of the bugs it has.

[-] borlax@lemmy.borlax.com 2 points 1 year ago

I self host FreshRSS and it seems to work pretty well.

[-] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago
[-] lemonadebunny@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I use Feeder on mobile and Newsflash on desktop

[-] stsquad@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I pay for access to Newsblur which is an RSS aggregator with open source mobile apps. For stuff like bug feeds and tracking wiki updates on projects I use elfeed within Emacs.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
[-] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Matcha. It isn't really an RSS reader as such but instead what it does is, when run (which you can do in the terminal as well), will create a markdown doc with URLs to each of the stories you have on the feed. The idea is you run it either on a timer or manually when you want to update the list. The reason I like it is because I can easily keep a history of past "digests" for later reading if I don't have time right now.
