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...

on my computer only (within elfeed)

61.8%

on mobile (how?) and Emacs elfeed

14.7%

on a web platform + elfeed

@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 😃

@pabryan @publicvoit Yeah that’s it. elfeed-protocol receives the RSS updates from Nextcloud News and syncs read status and whatnot. So I can read RSS either in Emacs or via the Nextcloud web interface

@EFLS @publicvoit thanks, that sounds pretty good. I guess any aggregator will do the same thing. I do have a Heztner Nextcloud instance for cloud storage though. Time to check if Hetzner supports that app!
