Op's example is a textbook example of what happened to me. I used to have a lot of RSS feeds in Google Reader, when it closed I never moved anywhere else because at the time there wasn't an obvious alternative.
- dingaling 9y agoWhy not just an RSS aggregator program / app? Like those which preceded and continued after Google Reader. They're no more difficult to use, you just add feeds and the program does the rest. And no login required. It seems odd to me to take a federated protocol, centralise it in a proprietary system and then shrug and forget RSS when that goes away. I was on Akgregator for years, then Bamboo in Firefox, now on QuiteRSS now that Quantum has killed Bamboo. All using the same imported OPML file of feeds.
- electricEmu 9y ago> Why not just <overly simple thing> Which self hosted RSS aggregator contains an easy to deploy, backup, and maintain ecosystem (easier than Dokuwiki), an Android and iPhone app, that all work synchronized together... It's overly complicated to set up and maintain the infrastructure needed for most people. Time costs a lot.
