Just out of curiosity what are you using to read RSS feeds



I use a Telegram bot.. I create a channel for each RSS feed (or a bunch of related feeds) and then add the bot to it and use some /commands, and the bot will send posts to it. I can invite other people to the channel too, and Telegram even lets you add a little chat to discuss each submission separately

The bot is @rss2tg_bot, if you don't want channels you can just begin a private chat with it and send a rss url. Or add it to a group and then it sends new posts to the group.


There should be an equivalent to Godwin's law for HN and RSS readers <3


I'd be more interested about what people subscribe to.


I’ve been interested as well for quite some time. I don’t know how to find websites. That old style of browsing was before my time.

Not to mention, who still actually maintains RSS feeds? To be fair idk if it’s really necessary.


I actually subscribe to YouTube feeds so that I don't have to ever log in. It's really nice.

But on top of that, just small websites that provide RSS. I change it up here and there.


In your experience, is RSS reliable enough to replace Reddit and Facebook as a news feed?


Yeah, I mean if you wanted, you can include reddit (and hacker news) in your RSS feed, so no need for replacement. That said, the entire point of RSS is to curate your own experience so just linking it to reddit (or hackernews) sorta defeats the purpose. I guess its nice to have both in one place.

As for Facebook, I haven't used it since 2008 when it became clear it was a cruddy company led by a misanthrope so I can't speak to that.


HN RSS does that for me very well.

I still keep Facebook to check on what are my friends been up to recently. But lately it only has part of that content.

Perhaps it is time for friend feed aggregator.


Feeder on Android, but nothing yet on PC, because all RSS feeds has ugly, old school UI.


I use feedbro on firefox and it's okay


Feedly
