Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
You're viewing a single thread.
RSS is great for following blogs and sites of specific interests, like local sites, or sites about specific subjects. You get ALL the updates. For example. I live in Baltimore and have a bunch of local sites in my RSS reader.
Reddit/Lemmy, on the other hand, is a more democratically human curated and upvoted aggregator so while it hits all the popular stuff beyond the topics you follow on RSS, it will miss a lot too.
So I use both.
Feedly for hundreds of sites of interest. And Reddit and now Lemmy for the rest.
Good stuff!
What would be nest is a feed aggregatior that combos as a lemmy / larger fedi client. When reading your feed, there can be a comments button. The button would do a quick lookup to see if there has been any discussions tracked on your instance for that link and if so let you choose on of the results to join a discussion and a start new thread button that has a workflow for posting the link in a community you select.
Good to see a fellow feedly user. I'm curious, have you subscribed for any of the premium feedly features and if so, would you say they are worth it?
no, been a freebie user since Google Readers died and honestly, for the way I use it, to pop on and scroll through the feed then clicking on some articles? I've never felt limited or like I needed to pay to do anything.
Same thing for me as well, I haven't felt limited by anything in the free version. It's great for things like hackernews and webcomics.
I am Feedly user as well, but use the FeedMe app on Android. I prefer that app over the Feedly one, it's free, and I can add as many categories as I want whereas Feedly limits it to three or so in the free version :)
Oh thanks for the tip. I'll give Feedme a try
