Yes, I consume: 1. Twitter via Twitter lists using Feedbin: https://feedbin.com/blog/2018/01/11/feedbin-is-the-best-way-to-read-twitter/ https://feedbin.com/blog/2018/01/11/feedbin-is-the-best-way-... 2. Email newsletters via RSS (also thanks to Feedbin): https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsletters-in-feedbin/ https://feedbin.com/blog/2016/02/03/subscribe-to-email-newsl... 3. HN via hnrss.org[†] 4. Reddit via subreddit RSS. (Just add .rss after the subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang.rss https://www.reddit.com/r/golang.rss ) 5. A small selection of hand-curated blogs and friends' sites. If the firehose ever seems too overwhelming (>200 new items), I generally just skim the titles for stand-out items and then mark all as read guilt-free. [†] For example: - hnrss.org/newest?points=50 - hnrss.org/whoishiring/jobs/?q=React - hnrss.org/replies/?id=youruserid

re: subscribing to the HN firehose on Feedbin. Has anyone else noticed that Feedbin does not seem to handle that well? Right now it says 526 unread items, whereas it in fact should rather be a few thousand items. Is there some lossy aspect to subscriptions on Feedbin, like upper limit of number of items?

  I've just started using Feedbin about a month ago, and although my HN firehose feed is at like 1100 something, it definitely limits the rest of the HN feeds. The show and ask feeds are both stuck around 400 something.

I do the same thing. I subscribed to one private Twitter list in Feedbin and add/remove the relatively few people I want to read reliably.

I just discovered Feedbin and never paid for a RSS Reader before. Is it really worth paying 5$ ?

  I save at least $5/month in time and sanity by using Feedbin instead of twitter directly. There’s a 14-day free trial so you could try it yourself to see if you get value from it.

  > Is it really worth paying 5$ ? For me, it's worth way more, but I think this mostly depends what $5 is worth to you. Do you occasionally pay $5 for a beer, cocktail, coffee, or glass of wine? It's worth way more than any of those.
