Diese unglaublich schöne Leere
So blöd es klingen mag, aber es gibt da gerade so eine Leere in mir. Sie ist schön. Sie ist sehr befreiend. Ich liebe sie.

Looks good! I'm a user of #inoreader and I think it has the best 3-column layout (in the compact mode). It's a web app that is not so bad for an RSS reader though
Ok so. Been using #RSS readers for a long time. Mostly #Thunderbird and some #FOSS Android apps.
Annoying to me has always been that the two don't talk to each other, and some QoL features missing. So now I am exploring #NewsBlur and #InoReader after reading that Pluralistic article. So far so good.
WHICH IS YOUR RSS READER OF CHOICE? Must work on Android & sync to an interface I can access through a browser.
Update, thank you all for the slew of responses and suggestions!! 🙏🏼

martwin@ruhr.social - So langsam geht's ans Eingemachte: das von mir hoch geschätzte #feedly wird durch den #inoreader ersetzt. Der OPML-Transfer war etwas mühsam, da die Exportfunktion bei Feedly gut versteckt ist, aber letztlich hat's geklappt. Nur das "Read Later"-Archiv ist nicht mitgekommen. Macht aber nichts, das war ohnehin ziemlich vollgelaufen. Ein bisschen Umgewöhnung ist jetzt noch nötig, aber das kriegen wir hin.

How To Use RSS Feeds
It's hard to stay well informed on the Internet. Fortunately, there is a venerable technology, RSS feeds, which you can use to curate your own news feed.

A new blog post about #Instapaper and reading news on my #kobo https://blog.cammurphy.com/2026/01/25/rss-to-kobo.html #rss #inoreader
I was able to switch off all unread-counts, badges, and alerts, too. And everything's just listed chronologically, rather than algorithmically pushing click-bate at me.
Just in the last few days, I think this is actually becoming one of my favourite things. Reducing a lot of noise and distraction without cutting off all news and media altogether.
Continued adventures in RSS...
So far so happy with Inoreader! With rules and filters to mark things as read if they don't (or do) meet certain criteria, I can subscribe to all sorts of feeds without getting bombarded with too much stuff in the main feed. While still being able to click into a particular feed if I want to, say, browse the headlines on TheJournal.ie or BBC, etc. They're there – just not all up in my face about it.
Keyword monitoring works great too.
Inoreader's 'rules' might solve the problem of too many notifications.
Basically, I'll put my busy news feeds into a folder, and add a rule to mark everything in there as read on arrival. I can still click through to see the headlines, but I'm not pestered with "new thing!!" notifications all throughout the day.
It's a 'Pro' feature on Inoreader though. Nearly €100/yr! I'll see how I get on with the 14-day trial.
It does seem a nice platform.
Giving RSS feeds another go, again again. Inoreader seems nice. It's good so far for a few blogs and YouTube subscriptions.
News sites seem more difficult though. I want a few headlines maybe throughout the day, not a notification every time a celebrity farts or a sports star scores a point.
Anyone know a good less-is-more news feed solution? Preferably Irish news.
@fistfulofdave I keep #Tapestry on apple devices, #Surf on non-apple devices, and #Inoreader on everything. If you've never tried Inoreader, I would recommend it. I think that I'm giving them $20/yr for an ad-free experience and its been worth it to me so far.
Gente que usa #inoreader para seguir notícias da tugalândia: como é que fazem para ter notícias com algum filtro?
Comecei a usar e adicionei alguns jornais portugueses. Mas agora tenho coisas a mais no meu feed, repetidas e algumas sem interesse. Algum tipo de filtro que me esteja a escapar?
3️⃣ Social Media Alternativen sind gut, aber die Frage ist auch: Wofür möchte ich sie überhaupt nutzen? Ich habe sie lange als Feed für alles mögliche genutzt, z.B. auch Artikel. Für mich ein wichtiger Schritt, um meine SoMe Zeit generell zu verringern: #RSS Reader (ich nutze #Inoreader) und Nachrichtenapps.
So kann ich 1. Nachrichten begrenzen 2. Interessanten Blogs direkt folgen, ohne mit Werbung und Clickbait vollgemüllt zu werden
Tl;dr I unclouded my RSSs (RSS’s? RSS’? RSSes?)
How long will it be before your Facebook stream is so full of promoted content, bizarre algorithmic decisions, and tracking cookie based shopping cart reminders that you won’t be getting any valuable information? For as little as $60, a business can promote a page to Facebook users. It won’t be long before your news feed is worthless.
Ben Wolf of Old Reader fame wrote this back in November 2013. (And I found it in this Wired article, credit where credit is due.) It was true then in 2013, it was true in 2018 when I started writing this blog post (LOL), and it is true now. More amazingly, that 2013 slug still works! Anyhow, today I want to write a bit about RSS so time to dust off this draft!
RSS is one of those old holdouts of open technologies that kind of went away, but akshully never really went away. We kind of left it, but actually we (some of us) never did. Contrary to common belief it did exist before Google Reader (if I’m not wrong, I used Liferea before migrating my feeds to Reader), and contrary to common belief, it’s not dead. Like IRC. Or Usenet. Or punks.
Meanwhile, with AI rising the internet by and large became unusable on the “traditional” channels of the past 10-15 years — your “for you” feeds, and the like. Algorithmically curated sources are inevitably polluted by algorithmically generated crap making human content very difficult to find and follow.
But I digress.
When I started writing this post in 2018, I was a happy Inoreader user — Pro, for no other reason than to support them. But now, 3 (+1) things happened:
- First, they raised prices / reshuffled tiers, so my “supporter” type of subscription suddenly got very expensive, with 9 EUR per month for the first year, even more after.
- Second, I realised that I need more than what I do now with my RSS, around my Youtube use.
- I basically ran out of the 150 feed limit of the free tier.
- (Three, in the making for some time: Youtube has become impossible to use. But this will be a separate post. Eventually.)
So I finally made the move from Inoreader to (selfhosted) FreeRSS.
FreeRSS is a PHP application so install is trivial. Subscribed feeds can be simple exported to OPML from Inoreader and then imported to my FreshRSS instance, so that’s also trivial. I encountered 2 gimmicks:
- Using NGinx there are some rewrite rules that I needed to add to properly use the Google Reader API (which I didn’t spot during the install, causing my some minor headache.)
- Auto refreshing the feeds on server side required a cron job, otherwise force refreshing the feeds is not possible in the Android apps. (Because it will always just refresh the current list of articles from the server, and not the feeds.)
On my phone (and tablet), I installed FeedMe for those cozy cross platform vibes, connecting to my instance through the (anachronistically named) Google Reader API. The app works much like Inoreader’s, swipe to refresh, scroll to mark as read, etc.
I also installed the RSSHub Radar addon in my Firefox to help discovery: it will discover feeds in pages I visit, so if I decide I want to add a site’s feed to my reader, it’s 1 click.
And now with no limits on number of feeds, I do it much more often too: when I stumble upon an interesting/valuable post in a “human” ghetto of the internet (like Reddit, or Lemmy, or Mastodon), I can immediately subscribe to the whole feed if I want to, making for a very simple, but (for now) effective discovery method.
Next up: consolidating my Youtube feeds in a similar way!

So far, I've integrated it with #Feedly, #FeedLand, and #Inoreader, which have convenient interfaces for subscribing. Kudos to #StreetPass for providing a great starting point.
