RSS is still around! Most news & blog sites support it, though sometimes you have to go digging in the HTML to find the feed URL. On the client side, I find Feedly to be satisfactory on both desktop & mobile, and they actually have a business model so hopefully they'll stick around. There are of course many other clients, but that's the one that stuck for me.
- morsch 4y agoSetting up an RSS reader was the best thing that happened to my browsing habits in years. Can't recommend it enough. Constant refreshing of half a dozen sites was replaced by occassionally looking into one program. Literally all the sites I read had an RSS feed, even if they didn't advertise it (maybe they don't even realise it). And a while ago I added an RSS feed for replies to my comments here[1], which I thought I might implement myself, but of course somebody already did (thanks!). In addition, it helps keeping up with blogs I do read, but I don't read immediately, e.g. ACOUP. It also solved the problem of Firefox Android's atrocious tab handling ([2], basically because I took Firefox out of the equation). 1 https://hnrss.org https://hnrss.org 2 https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/20090 https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/20090
- Encrypt-Keeper 4y agoHell I opened this very thread from an RSS reader site I host myself. There are dozens of us.
