I've been using the nextcloud RSS reader for a while now. Not the most feature rich, but it does the job for me.
Does anyone have any tips on setting up RSS for twitter so it shows more content than what is just on the first page through the https://nitter.net/{{ twitter_account }}/rss method?
I've been using fritter but there's no longer a way to combine feeds from all accounts at once. And when it comes to setting up a regular RSS I run into the feed quantity limitation for each account.
I selfhost freshrss and it's amazing. If the reddit privacy frontends go down due to the api changes, I'll lose those feeds but I already replaced them with lemmy feeds anyways :)
If only youtube sill offered a RSS feed from all my subscriptions. It's so annoying that I can't figure out how to get it.
If you inspect the page code in your browser for the YouTube channel you want to add to your rss feed, the rss link is still there. Just control + f and search for rss. I still use rss to manage my YouTube content.
It's in there if you inspect the source of the page.
Alternatively, feedly is able to detect and parse it, you only have to provide it the URL to the channel.
If you then don't want to use feedly, you can export your subscriptions as a opml file, and import them in another reader.
A bit of a convoluted solution, if you don't want to inspect the source.
I use Miniflux and I've actually had luck just putting the channel url like youtube[.]com/channel/CHANNEL_NAME_HERE and the rss feed populates from there!
I wrote a quick bash script to one-click the rss feeds out the page source. I'm surprised most rss readers don't do that automatically, it's not an involved algorithm to pick that out.
Anyone have any good suggestions for blogs to follow? I just downloaded inoreader and followed some of the suggested ones on there, but I used RSS so long ago I don't remember anything I used to really follow outside of my current interests.
I use RSS every day- it's my primary source of news- but there are many sites I'd love to follow which don't have a feed. My reader, Inoeader, claims to have a workaround for it, but only on their paid version, which is stupid expensive.
I've been using RSSHub and Miniflux for a while now, self-hosted. It's mainly how I read news.
I’ve been enjoying NewsBlur since Google Reader went offline.
Yeah, and this also applies to the fediverse as I've recently realized. X instance on a whim de-federating with W, Y and Z is just as bad. It just makes it a PITA to be a user. Plus one would think NSFW on an open platform would be better adopted but everyone avoids it like the plague. Only lemmynsfw is out there, and blocked from many places.
I'm setting up RSS to pull all the content I want from any place.
Feedly has been a decent RSS service for me. While not self hosted it has been worlds better that TTRSS. That said, it has been roughly a decade since I assessed the space so I am open to alternatives.
I was using Feedly for a long time but just discovered and paid for NewsBlur and it’s amazing. The killer feature is being able to easily see new posts as they come in as part of the Ui rather than having to refresh.
I have over 100 RSS feeds I've organized into different categories. It lets me get the latest updates from many websites all in one place. Even though some feeds now only supply a headline or partial article, it's still a much faster and comfortable experience than relying on Twitter or Reddit to do the same thing.
I been using the feeder app and its really good to get tech news , just add the RSS links and you have news that choose to read and not recommended bullshit.
I self host a tiny tiny rss instance, and while I'm not a huge fan of the developer and his behavior, I like the web app in combination with the android app. It's been working great for me for years.
