It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.
It’s wack how the internet seems to have collectively forgotten about this technology over the past decade, despite it not being the least bit obsolete.
It’s not ad-friendly, and does not force you to create yet another account in yet another walled garden for big-tech to collect your data.
Feeder is a great Android app. It even fetches the full content from Paywalled sites
I’ve been using Bazqux Reader since it’s a single guy and seems to work well. I also know that Tiny Tiny RSS is a super cool self hostable one.

I never stopped using RSS even when it supposedly “died”. Right now I have FreshRSS running on my raspberry pi since I like subscriptions and read state to sync between my machines but don’t like to depend on some company for that. I use Reeder for my iOS devices, which can sync with FreshRSS.
For all folks say RSS is dead, I find a lot to fill it with. Blogs (yes I still read blogs like it’s 2005), webcomics (most comics with their own site offer one, and webtoon generates them for its comics, though it looks like tapas doesn’t or at least I can’t find any feeds there), tech news sites, scientific journals, lemmy and mastodon generate feeds for users and communities, even YouTube still generates feeds for individual channels. There’s a lot of feeds still active out there.
Yeah I use RSS feeds for everything. You should check out Open RSS, doing a lot of great stuff.
FreshRSS is cools. The way mamma used to make.
And self-hostable which is why I switched to it. I also highly recommend netnewswire if you’re in the apple ecosystem.
I recently got back into RSS with self hosting FreshRSS with NetNewsWire. Great setup. Highly recommend if you are into self hosting.
I think it would make sense to remind about the existence of rss-bridge for many sites that do not have an RSS feed.
I’ve been using this for a few years and it’s really good.
How does it work? Does it work for any website?
