Poll ended at .
My camera shoots fascistsIt's on my shortlist of things to set up, but at this point the answer was "I don't".
オチュー (stop colonialism 🇵🇸)@m EVERY HOUR I CAN'T STOP HELPMEEEEE (every 6 hours in theory but I refresh it like a bored cat harassing a mouse for entertainment)
generationX
smeg@m I added bots to the fediverse that provide my RSS feed. Not sure where that fits into these options
Migrated to @
Juhis@m I read through new posts 2-3 times a day.
Matti Järvinen
Klaudia (aka jinxx)@m Oh, does my podcast app count? Then daily!
tootbrute@viennawriter @m oh shoot, if that counts...I use an rss reader
Fulana von Tal 🇵🇷🇩🇪@m and I still miss google reader
Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.@m I voted "i don't use a RSS reader", but that's not quite true. I use DoggCatcher for my podcasts, which are mainly Patreon RSS links. I have it fetch each day, though I don't listen on all of them.
Evil Love 『Vulonkaaz』@m my rss reader refresh itself two times an hour but it been months since there last been a new thing in here
I always have the unread article counter right under my eyes on my desktop bar but it's basically always at zero
what should i vote then ?

@m that's kind of a weird poll to make anyway who actually uses RSS like once a week or once a month ? the main point of that technology is to be like notified when there's an update somewhere if that thing ain't just passively running in the background you're kind of doing it wrong
Snail@m Kind of hard to decide how to vote, I can't remember the last time I used an RSS reader directly but I run several bots turning RSS feeds into fediverse posts. Plus I have a dashboard at work which pulls from a specific file RSS feed too.
So I voted daily but pedanticly also never.
OldTurk🗽Focus: #FreePeltier@m does a podcast app count?
Tracy Reed@m RSS basically died with Google reader as far as I know. That's when I stopped using it, years ago. But 6 months ago I stood up a freshrss container which I never remember to look and the feedme app on Android would never update the feeds for some reason. Still trying to figure that one out. It's gotten a lot more complicated than it used to be. Why can't feedme just import my feed instead of needing a freshrss/Feedly/etc running as a middle-man? I didn't know...

Liam Bennett@m as someone who uses RSS multiple times per day and has done for many years, I find it shocking how many people on this thread don’t. I’m not sure I’d be happy consuming content any other way.
Justice for Sepulveda Martinez@m i put monthly but I have declined to probably every few months digging into my feed reader.
Zoe@m I wrote a custom one into my Discord bot
Mike D.@m
I use Protopage as my home page it can even make RSS-type feeds for sites without proper RSS.
Quinn Norton@m I don't know because they're built into a bunch of other tools?
bubbajet@m @lisamelton NetNewsWire FTW if you’re on Apple stuff.
Cinnamon Bubblegum@m I cba to sync my feeds across devices so don't bother. I know it'd be good to but I don't know how to (using *free* software) make it so I can add a feed from my pc and have it also add to my phone etc
Willow@m I use one semi-regularly, but I haven't found one that ticks everything on my wishlist:
* Video support with progress tracking
* Podcast support with progress tracking
* Youtube-dl or Invidious/Piped integration
* Cross-platform sync, at least between Linux and Android, with a server that I can self-host
Someday I might make one myself but that day is not today

🇺🇦@m I compromised on monthly - I use one daily if podcasts count (yay Pocket Casts!) and I glance at Newsblur occasionally (switched to it when Google Reader got Googled) but suffer from firehose issues enough as it is.
@m every goddamn day. It's my go-to for scroll therapy.
Judy Anderson@m The #rss reader I use is #DreamWidth which has a bunch of pseudo-accounts that subscribe to various RSS feeds. Does that count?
mostlycheap@m trying Feeder for Android rn
Kevin Gamin@m RSS is the best way to follow websites without Big Tech messing it up.
DB SchweinMostly so I can set up the RSS to go *out*, but I do read it so...
www.writersdrinkingcoffee.com/feed/podcast in case you're looking for a fabulous podcast!
ghastlyAstronaut@m Google took away Reader and I never recovered.

James BrittRSS: Flat-food for the Web.
Jared (MOVED TO DMV.COMMUNITY)@m My daily place to get the news! I use NetNewsWire on Mac, iPhone, and iPad and NewsFlash on Linux.
I was an avid used of Feverº back in the day. I still miss it.
Facundo Olano@m I saw this poll in my rss reader
Peter@m do podcast players count?
Sujay Narsale@m if anyone is looking for a no-nonsense Open Source reader, I highly recommend Feeder
https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder?tab=readme-ov-file#feeder
Lesley Lai@m My RSS inbox will have hundreds of entries if I use it weekly, so I can't imagine workflows that use RSS but don't check it daily
Tim Hare@m right now my RSS reader is built into Outlook
@m what are the most needed features in an RSS reader these days?

@m This is my main source of information.
njsg@m (I'm counting #Gmane's #Gwene over #NetworkNews as an RSS (and atom) feed reader, so I picked "every day".)
(Although, to be fair, in my case that should be "every day as schedule and stress allow" which can, under certain planetary alignments, almost translate into "weekly"...)
cath@m I tried quite hard to set up a widget to display subject-based feeds from multiple news sites on ahnt.org.au but it seemed like maybe RSS is in its death throes.
wikiyu@m how frequently?
I don`t know how to close it...

C_Chell@m
It just my main way to keep updated for the new content (Fediverse is the second).
Currently with 9520 feeds (including 7350 for DeviantArt and 1360 of Youtube (and the rest is from other sources) I made my own reader only suited for my needs.

Finnley Dolfin@m @CosmicHydrae I don’t directly use RSS but use it in a couple of programs where there’s no API to pull information.
Lambda@m I need to start using rss
Adrien Plazas@m I just don't manage to read news, I don't have the mental bandwidth for that, but I love the concept of RSS readers and I wish it was more prominent, e.g. used to subscribe to video channels.
jstm ausm paralleluniversum@m I've only recently started using Thunderbird's builtin RSS reader. I'm still looking for some feeds I can subscribe though.
L29Ah@m I never use an RSS reader because i use rss2email.
Kirtai 🏳️⚧️@m
I'm currently using the one built into Thunderbird but have been thinking of getting or making a dedicated one.

Hugo Mills@m I wrote my own command-line tool which (a) can update/check RSS feeds, running in a cron job, and (b) can open all of the new items in a browser.
Part (b) is hooked up to a button on my desktop's taskbar.
That's my RSS reader.
Elías Fraguas@m Left twitter, jumped back into RSS to keep informed. Now I am informed trhu rss. Lose the personal touch but also the nazi stuff. So RSS all day it is.

I used an RSS feed years ago that would give me the bittorrent seed for the latest episode of The Daily Show the minute it finished airing on the east coast. I think that's the only one I've really used.

Troy@m I use one called "Feeder" that I found on F-droid. Works fine for me, and I like that it's all local. No need to create accounts and stuff
