I’ve recently got back to using an RSS feeds for most of my online content and have more appreciation now than as a teen pre early brid app when I kept up with gaming news. Like most of us here on Lemmy, Ive been getting off reddit but the only thing that kept me using it was the city subreddit. Initially I was using it for The Verge and a couple other tech and science sites which replaced those subreddits for me but out of bordem and curiosity I realized some local news events and ramblings websites convert almost perfectly in rss which replaces my use of reddit altogether. Substacks seem to work on RSS as well.
Curious to see if any of you use RSS and if so how do you use it?
What RSS readers do people like? I used to love Google Reader!
I got fed up with Feedly and moved onto Inoreader. I’ve been happy since.
FreshRSS and CapyReader (synced to FreshRSS).
Oooh, what does that look like in practice?
FreshRSS runs on my server and I manage all my feeds there. I can read there in the browser as well. Capy connects to it and syncs everything down, and it also syncs read status back up. On the server I also have rsshub and rssbridge, which let you make feeds out of a huge bunch of sites that don’t natively have RSS.
Neat! Thanks for the explanation. :)
I’m using Feeder on android at the moment. No issues so far
And if you want a desktop (linux) client, Akregator works pretty well with similar functionality to Feeder.
Cappy Reader is nice

Currently using Fluent Reader for desktop. I’ll never not use RSS for news.
I am using Liferea
I’ve been paying for the cheapest tier of The Old Reader for years. I think its $25 per year. It’s a lot like Google Reader. The basic web interface works fine for me in mobile browsers, like in Firefox on my phone. Which keeps things really simple.
