Do you still use RSS? If so, what are some neat feeds you follow? I'm always looking for fun ones.

>>108774053RSS feeds are a bit of a time sink, I never bothered setting them up again after reinstalling my OS. I'm not even sure what the most convenient way of viewing them is (outside of self-hosting FreshRSS with community addons, which is a cool, but overkill). That said, I mostly used it for: >local news>How-To-Geek (mostly their software listicles tbqh)>more general tech news that I rarely read (you can find lists on the official /g/ wiki's RSS articles: Slashdot, BleepingComputer, Ars Technica, Tech Crunch, Futurism etc.>The Hard Times & Hard Drive for occasionally funny satire>AlternativeTo's RSS feed for software update news>HackerNews for slop>mainstream news slop to scroll through while on the toilet (Feeder is still king on mobile afaik)
>>108774186Oh and TorrentFreak for piracy news.
I made a simple app for my FreshRSS instance the other day. I tried to tell a few people, no one knows what RSS is.
>>108774294>I made a simple app for my FreshRSS instance the other day.What does this mean? Back when I used it, I just connected through the browser. Although calling mine self-hosted is a bit of a stretch, it was running on my day to day Windows PC using an Apache server.
>>108774358You don't have to use the web interface, you can also use it through the API. Here is a list of apps, I like Capy Reader the best. But I wanted to make one for myself.https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS#apis--native-apps
>>108774397Interesting. I never tried to use it across devices, apps might've been more useful for that.In truth, I only used it because of this extension that lets you fill the screen with feeds side by side, I couldn't find any other reader that did that: https://github.com/tryallthethings/freshvibes
>>108774053i do use itI use it to keep track of manga/webnovel releases and youtube channelsI also have some reddit/youtube search query feeds that let me keep abreast of topics of interest (not that useful desu)
>>108774463>reddit/youtube search query feedsSounds interesting. Are they difficult to create? I'm used to just clicking the antenna icon from Livemarks (Firefox) to get the feed address, I never tried making a custom one myself.
>>108774053>Do you still use RSS?Yes.>what are some neat feeds you follow? - Powershell blog- Wndows blog- phoronix- This Week in plasma- And local news.But yeah I too want other RSS feeds. But RSS seems to be dying though, even though YouTube and websites like it are getting worse.I used to be massively into YouTube still am to a degree but that's an addiction issue where my mind thinks it can get great videos weekly but that's far form the case it's rare nowadays and I have been adding RSS into the mix because of it.
>>108774592I use the Feedbro browser extension, which comes with a 'Find feed in current tab' dropdown action. This yields:>reddit:https://old.reddit.com/r/Isekai/search.xml?q=bookworm&sr_nsfw=&restrict_sr=1&sort=newRemove the .xml and it becomes a normal reddit search url>youtube:https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ascendance+of+a+bookworm&sp=CAISAhABwhich is. bizarrerly, precisely the normal url for youtube searchingTbh the youtube one is much less useful now that youtube no longer lets you sort by upload date, so it's now pretty static.
>>108774640Thanks!>Tbh the youtube one is much less useful now that youtube no longer lets you sort by upload date, so it's now pretty static.Technically, you can get around that to some extent by adding "after:yyyy-mm-dd" to the search text. You'd have to change the feed address every once in a while though and the current ordering algorithm is only known by whatever demonic entity removed the "sort by upload date" option to begin with.
>>108774186>>108774053I use FreshRSS as a replacement algorithm for YouTube's. Even have content categories. Why? 'cause in the attention economy, I don't want retarded skibidi shorts, and there's channels where people are actually competent in what they do.
>>108774634I also use syndic on Kde Plasma and fluent reader on Windows.
>>108774700you still need to place the channels in manually right? I assume FreshRSS doesn't suggest new feeds
i don't follow anything. but i do use feedly for what's practically archiving purposes for a couple of feeds, which comes handy like once a year.
yepmost useful rss are massive so I get them filtered with AI
>>108774828>>most useful rss are massive so I get them filtered with AI>Trolling outside of /b/
>>108774053Never used it cuz I'm stupid
XML is lame I wish everyone used something plaintext like twtxt.
>>108774888It's very easy to use anon. Just install the Feedbro extension. Or Feeder on mobile. Feedbro lets you scan pages for feeds, then you add those feeds to whatever you're using to read them (including Feedbro itself) and you're done! You can of course change some settings, create categories, filter (block) some words, change the number of articles in each feed etc., but the basics are very easy. I believe Chromium browsers still have RSS support built-in. If you want it on Firefox default, you could install Livemarks. Then you can read feeds directly from your bookmark folders. Obviously, you don't need it if you use Feedbro or some other extension.Self-hosting FreshRSS and stuff like that is a bit more of a journey, but not that much more difficult. It's probably overkill for most people though.
>>108774848it\s truthis is the container for 4 or 5 weeb subreddits, they produce 1000 items per day of crap. After filtering it's less than 3 per day
>>108775154Interesting. Did you make/vibecode that interface yourself or is it downloaded from somewhere?
>>108775154>>it\s tru>>this is the container for 4 or 5 weeb subreddits, they produce 1000 items per day of crap. After filtering it's less than 3 per day>Reddit>Long text without a clear subject.Why are you doing this to yourself?
>>108775167vibecoded
Found this article while looking for different RSS stuff. Lighthouse have their own SaaS paid RSS whatever, but the article seems decent nonetheless, or at least the chart (pic related): https://lighthouseapp.io/blog/feed-reader-deep-diveI wouldn't pay for stuff like this, but maybe there's some commercial use case that I'm not aware of.
>>108775220Thanks. What model did you use?
>>108774053I subscribe to feed.home.arpa/podcasts, which is my podcast feed generator that serves whatever media that's in /home/shared/podcasts. It works pretty good.>>108774592RSS is extremely difficult to create / parse, don't bother.
>>108776253>RSS is extremely difficult to create / parse, don't bother.He literally told me how to do it in the next post. I will say that I have not had much success creating custom feeds for sites that don't support them officially, with stuff like rss-bridge, in the past, so you're kind of correct.
>>108774053Gaming/tech news, a couple of webcomics, some hobby stuff like a couple of motorbike blogs and a music blog. I feed a couple of X (formerly Twitter (formerly twttr)) accounts into it through Nitter. Takes me about 10 minutes to scroll through in the morning and according to Wallabag I save about 5 articles a day.Many websites still server RSS even if there's not a link to it anywhere on the page. I don't think the technology will ever truly die because so many sites use it and don't even know
>>108774186>I'm not even sure what the most convenient way of viewing them isif the use case is reading news, I used a self-hosted (localhost only) commafeed instance until I decided that news were bad for my mental health... so I don't use rss anymore

>>108774729no, it doesn't suggest feeds. As it should be.
>>108774729Holy subhuman.
