Well if you run 3 ad blockers like me, you won't have to worry about any of that lol.

Well, the site owner would have 0 control over what extensions I have installed. Asking me to disable them would most definitely result in me leaving.

Ever since I started using RSS, back in the Google reader days, I used it in list view and clicked on articles I was interested in. I still do this today. I run ad blockers, so I'm absolutely useless to the sites, but I want to see the

OK sure, but you can create usable feeds. There are services that will do this for you in like 5 seconds.

Yeah me too!! I still use and love RSS! That's why these posts are just ridiculous.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Wow I'm definitely not a fan of these kind of posts!! In fact, I can't stand them.
97.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Exactly!! It's also not like RSS died that day. People say it is, but um... it's still around.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Could you give this an RSs feed? Especially for the recent/latest things.

Personal directories still exist. https://indieseek.xyz/ That's an example of one of those. Webrings are still kind of with us, some people tried to revive them. https://indieweb.org/webring Believ

Tip: it didn't actually die. I use Miniflux, which is a self-hosted RSS reader. It has a page with all the feeds on it, when you click on a feed, it displays the articles for that feed. You can also just look at the river, like the HN

I only used the Google reader feed suggestion thing, when it was still around. Otherwise, I don't use anything to recommend me new feeds. However, that's what I'd like a service to do.

Blah, I hate paywalled newsletters. It's fine to maybe do a Patreon or something for extra, bonus content, but I don't think you should stop people from reading your stuff.

Are you going to make the OPML work on the web version eventually? Also if I import an OPML, it would be epic if I could get a list of recommended feeds back that are similar to mine.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Will it recommend me feeds based on an OPML I import? Also RSS doesn't clutter up anything. You probably got the worst of it with Feedly.

Miniflux will also let you do a per-feed view, from the feeds and/or categories pages. I'm pretty sure Feedbin does as well.

Miniflux does it for me. Although you do have to have a place to install it. I mean, it needs a server. Whether that's a home server that you have, or a VPS, it doesn't matter.

Well, I think the opposite is correct. The only solution is to archive everything. therefore I do, I accomplish this with a Miniflux instance with about 360,000 items in it. Then again I kept all my blog content going back until 2009, for 1

Could this have an RSS feed? Maybe of recent projects posted, bought sold etc?

Except me, if I open up my RSS reader, I'm usually looking for something new. I turn Youtube videos into audio podcasts using a service, and put them in a podcast client that's separate from my RSS reader.

Lol you and I both.

Could this have an RSS feed? I'd like to put it in my reader.

Blogrolls are good things, but unfortunately they aren't universal these days.

by hopesthoughts 5y ago
Me too!! The only thing I wish Miniflux did is newsletters.
114.
by hopesthoughts 5y ago
I'm using a Miniflux instance.

Not only that it makes less work for you, and takes up less space in the browser. As in you don't have to visit each site on a regular basis, and you don't have a whole bunch of bookmarks sitting around.

Ask HN: What happens if I like and use a service but can't contact anyone there?

yeah it is, although I'm having a service that was launched here on HN manage it for me.

Oh yeah, I can't wait for extinguish round 2. We all know it's coming. Notice how they say it's just an experiment.

Miniflux exists.

RSS has recovered fine, if it ever was actually wounded.
