General news, tech news, release notes of certain apps I use, peertube uploads of channels I like, notifications about limited-time free games, and all of that in one place.
Same, I just started using it recently. Facebook was dropping Canadian news in response to new legislation, and while I wasn’t getting news from there I thought I’d explore. I actually really liked the process and subscribed to some areas I was interested in. I haven’t cleaned it up yet, and I want to try FreshRSS but it’s a start.
It’s actually how I get a lot of the content for Lemmy! I found feeds for a few key medical / Canadian health news things and I go off that.
Using FeedBro on web FireFox, and Feeder on Android
First you’d need to get the address of the feeds you want. If a page provides a feed, it should have the little RSS icon somewhere. That should hold the address.
And so on and so forth. You’ll see when you get a few together.
Then you add those addresses to your RSS app of choice, and that’s pretty much it. There’s really not much to it, it’s rather simple, and that’s precisely why I like it. You can then have your RSS app only load the actual content, without all the unnecessary jazz that the website it comes from would show.
I use Fluent Reader on Linux, and Feeder on Android.
Try Feedly. As best I can tell, it’s the only spiritual successor to Google Reader from years ago (I’m still salty Google killed it). It’s about the only worthwhile non-self-hosted RSS reader online. Being online, it will sync between devices.
If you’re a little more technically inclined, you could also look into self-hosting your own feed reader. That’s beyond my abilities, so I don’t know where to point you for that.
I’ve recently started using RSS, and I love it.

Pretty cool if you ask me

If I wanted to try RSS out on my PC and mobile device, how would I do this.
First you’d need to get the address of the feeds you want. If a page provides a feed, it should have the little RSS icon somewhere. That should hold the address.
The URLs come in different shapes, some may look like this:
https://noyb.eu/en/rss
Others have the word feed in their name:
https://archlinux.org/feeds/news/
And so on and so forth. You’ll see when you get a few together.

Feedly has a mobile app, website, and browser extension. I use it across all devices.
Thanks
