As an #Emacs user who reads #Atom and #RSS feeds since the 90s on a daily basis to all users of #elfeed:
If you're using elfeed non exclusively, how do you sync the read-status of your feed subscriptions?
If elfeed exclusively: why aren't you reading feeds on mobile/tablet? At least for me, mobile is my main feed consumption platform.
I read feeds...
Miniflux is a great substitute, but the tradeoff is that you need to install and configure elfeed-protocol.
I read feeds on my phone + emacs and everything syncs (including feed tags [from miniflux] and whether I've read or bookmarked an article). Another tradeoff would be that miniflux is paid, although it's something like 15 schmeckles per year.
on a laptop & android tablet, although there is no guarantee we will be able to run #emacs on #android this time next year
i don't sync the feeds, laptop is more focused on #rubylang #julialang & the more techy aspects of #emacs
the android feed is more general science/emacs news/ sports / slashdot
the laptop is used in the evening @ home while the tablet, which doubles as a phone & runs my #orgmode #agenda goes with me during the day.
@publicvoit Nextcloud News as RSS aggregator, synched to Elfeed. Best combination: read via browser on Nextcloud (including mobile), and via Emacs. Reading status is in sync, and I can add feeds via browser.
@EFLS @publicvoit I've not used Nextcloud News. What does it mean to be synced to elfeed? Does that mean you point elfeed at Nextcloud rather than the original feed? Marking read in elfeed marks it read in Nextcloud?
I guess that's what an aggregator does, but I don't use RSS much, so it's not obvious to me. Thanks in advance 😃
@publicvoit hmmm, I've got a Nextcloud setup and have used elfeed-protocol via FreshRSS. I should look into moving from FreshRSS to Nextcloud News.
I've been working towards using elfeed exclusively, but I really do like having the option to do that consumption on mobile.
@publicvoit I run a freshrss service on a minipc "server". I access feeds from there primarily using elfeed + elfeed-protocol.
I can also access the freshrss service via a web interface (works fine on mobile), or using 'Capy Reader' app (FDroid) - both over a wireguard tunnel when away from home.
This is not a perfect solution, as only unread items are fetched by elfeed/capy clients. I've been meaning for some time to try the other servers supported by elfeed-protocol.
@minad That would definitely be the desired behaviour.
There is a note on the elfeed-protocol readme about freshrss servers specifically and the lack of an entry ID server-side. I've therefore only ever followed fasheng's advice to configure to configure the emacs side to only fetch unread items.
Interestingly, the android client that I use has the same behaviour without specific configuration.
Anyway, you now give me further motivation to more fully investigate alternatives!
Love this poll. The results surprise me somewhat. The golden implementation to me has been something like miniflux taking care of the polling and keeping me from missing posts (some feeds have a window).
At the same time, I do dip in and out of elfeed as it gets a little inundating to constantly be drinking from the firehose.
Maybe I should go back to infrequent polling from within elfeed?
