I've been reverting back to RSS and using Pocket as an interim solution (pocket-reader in emacs is really nice and converts well-formed articles into markdown, with the help of pandoc).
I want to host my own RSS server though and then maybe use a native reader to view it, like an RSS of RSS feeds. I don't want to pay an RSS feed company to host that for me and generate ad targeting from it.
The reason is that I want to be in control of the content I consume, and I'm not in control if an engagement algorithm is emotionally manipulating me.
- pwenzel 3y agoI've been using ReadKit for Mac for several years. It's just an old-school native feed reader app, no services required!
- mbirth 3y agoI'm using News Explorer for macOS and iOS. It syncs feeds, articles and read/unread status via iCloud. And for other URLs I use AnyBox which can download them for offline reading (or archiving).
- neets 3y agoI used to use Pocket, then migrated to Pinboard, and now use Raindrop. I like Raindrop because it has both golder and tags, plus the folders can be shared. For example here is a list of tools I have curated over the years, https://raindrop.io/dentropy/tools-31378381 https://raindrop.io/dentropy/tools-31378381

- theoldlove 3y agoI recently abandoned my self-hosted RSS server because I was having a lot of trouble getting past Cloudflare bot checks. I recommend Inoreader as a relatively inexpensive paid solution.
