I've been leaning into using RSS as my main news source for a few years now. Totally agree that it makes the web bearable.

I also like this as a way to "subscribe" to small blogs and sites that are less likely to show up in my typical social media or news feeds. That's actually why I made my own RSS feed at https://www.gross.sh/rss.xml (probably broken, because insist on doing everything myself, manually, in the simplest way I can 😅)

@3ricG what rss readers do you use? and are they poll based or push?

@pounce I mainly use feeder https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder and copy opml files between devices. I've been looking for a hosted solution or an alternative app for my desktops/laptops.

@pounce I went searching a bit this week for a self-hosted web client, and was reminded why I didn't make one yet... Definitely doable, but seemed like a lot of effort when I read news on my phone ~90% of the time.

I think TIny Tiny RSS was the one I got close to setting up a couple years ago: https://github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss

@3ricG A powerful litmus test imo. If you cannot pull together a broken version of a thing manually, maybe the legitimate version should not be trusted...
