Lots of interesting comments on here discussing the benefits of RSS, I'm keen to try it out. Can anyone recommend a really simple RSS setup for Linux? I work in vim if that means anything in this context whatsoever (I honestly have no idea).

Self host FreshRSS on a cheap cloud and access it through any browser. Works really well.

Years ago I used Liferea for on the desktop, it seems to still be maintained. These days I self-host tt-rss and use either the web interface or the app for it (so it syncs across devices.)

I have a nextcloud instance (up in the clouds somewhere) on a rented vps...and subscribe to rss/feeds there (via nextcloud's web-based rss reader)...then set up newsboat command line client on my local linux laptop to connect to that nextcloud instance, and read my feed from the command line of my laptop. I only mention this because you referenced "vim", so i made an assumption that perhaps you'd like to read rss stuff from the CLI...also, if i'm away from my laptop/command line - say away from home - i can just read the rss/feed stuff via nextcloud's web feed reader (which is the same interface i referenced above that is used to subscribe to the feeds in the first place). For me, it has been a nice setup...I hope that helps. Not sure if that is what you were looking for re: linux?

  This sounds awesome! And perfectly suited to my needs as I am a CLI kinda guy, and on the road often. Thanks friend.

    Here's some info on newsboat: https://newsboat.org/releases/2.24/docs/newsboat.html#_newsboat_as_a_client_for_newsreading_services https://newsboat.org/releases/2.24/docs/newsboat.html#_newsb... You could skim some of that, as the nextcloud/owncloud stuff is in section 4.7. Good luck!
