I really love @tg's #UX observations on #PhantomObligation and #RSSReaders (it's very similar to what I've been saying about "RSS zero" not being a healthy aim!).
Fortunately, my favourite #RSSReader @freshrss supports custom CSS. Here's how I reconfigure it to suppress most of the badges and unread counts:
The internet has massively sucked for quite a while now. @pluralistic calls this Enshittification. Let's talk about it and some ways we can get around it. In this installment I talk about cutting the noise of the internet with an RSS Reader. https://deadbeatguitarist.ca/2026/01/13/fight-against-the-enshittification-of-the-internet-with-an-rss-reader/ #enshittification #rss #fluentreader #takebacktheinternet #rssguard #linux #news #coreydoctorow #rssreaders #bigtech #techbros #mastodon

Thanks to Fijxu use of Anubis videos still can be watched on inv.nadeko.net. 🫡
I feel like because of the aggressive bot scraping that intensified not long ago will going to make it impossible to continue to use feed readers and the only way to interact with websites will going to be restricted to only be possible from web browsers.
Already opening up videos in mpv from my rss subscribed invidious feeds not working, it was my preferred way to watch videos. Just to clarify I'm aware that rss still works the only thing that doesn't is opening up video links directly with mpv or with any other video player that can do the same. And not only that but I fear at some point reading full articles inside an rss reader will not work forcing me to open article links in a web browser, even if some of feeds can fetch full articles minimizing the need to do so.
I'm not trying to minimize the impact of this scrapers that have on free and open source projects and on web admins who have to deal with this onslaught of bot activity, they are the ones who got it worst.

To my followers who use #RSSReaders, what are your favorite #RSSFeeds? Can be about anything relating to #tech, #accessibility, #disability, #science, #news, #books, #SelfHosting, #programming, or just anything you think I might like. Looking for new feeds to subscribe to.

I'm trying to make my #email #newsletters feed more manageable and started using #Inoreader to check issues in masse. I was able to export a #opnl list of all the WordPress blogs I'm following. But #Substack doesn't have such a feature. Can this be done through other newsletter carriers, such as #beehiiv, #buttondown, etc? I'm still a bit new to #rssreaders.
Hey, ich brauche mal Rat zu RSS-Readern #rssreaders
Ich habe sowas noch nie benutzt. Ich hatte Bundle als Nachrichten-App, aber Bundle scheißt natürlich auf Datenschutz, hat Werbung drin und liefert viel Schrott, ist fast nur noch eine Sammlung von Clickbaits, die zu Paywalls führen.
Also habe ich bei F-Droid nach einer Alternative gesucht und da ist alles voller RSS-Reader.
Aber leider hatte ich jetzt schon vier davon installiert und dann wieder deinstalliert.
Den ersten fand ich erstmal gut, denn es gab eine Auswahl von Feeds aus deutschsprachigen Nachrichtenmedien, aus denen ich wählen konnte. Das will ich. Ich habe null Bock drauf, alle URLs von Medien, die ich lesen will, selbst einzufügen und dabei die Hälfte von denen, die mich interessieren würden, zu vergessen.
Deinstalliert habe ich den Reader mit der schönen fertigen Feed-Liste, weil es keine Möglichkeit gab, sich Feeds mehrerer Medien gleichzeitig anzeigen zu lassen. Das müsste für mich aber drin sein. Gerade bei aktuellen Nachrichten möchte ich sehen, welche verschiedenen Medien wie darüber berichten. Dafür will ich nicht hin und her klicken müssen. Ich will eine Ansicht mit mehreren Feeds.
Ich weiß jetzt bei neu installierten RSS-Readern ohne Vorauswahl von Feeds nichtmal, ob die mir eine kombinierte Ansicht bieten würden, wenn ich mehrere Feeds abonniert habe. Dafür müsste ich mir ja zuerst die Arbeit machen, URL nach URL nach URL da einzufügen, bevor ich sehen kann, ob ich dann mehrere Feeds in einer Ansicht sehen kann.
Und weil ich null Bock habe, mich da einzeln durchzuprobieren, frage ich nach Empfehlungen.
Ich will auch möglichst keine Accounts anlegen müssen. Vor allem nicht für irgendwas, was mir dann doch nicht das liefert, was ich suche, was ich aber erst merke, wenn ich irgendwo einen nutzlosen Account angelegt habe.
For folks using #rss readers:
Do you prefer to read the full article in the reader or do you like to follow the link to the website to read it in its original format?
Does anyone have any recommendations for #RSS/Atom readers that will sync between devices? I'm on Android and Linux. I don't mind self-hosting.
Okay, algo que estaría genial que tuviera: widgets
De momento no tiene pero no es para nada un problema solo creo que sería un buen “plus”.

What are people's favorite RSS reader? Ideally must be fast to update 100s of feeds and allow keyword search of entries. Web based or Linux based preferred.
I recently switched #RSSReaders from #TheOldReader to #Inoreader because I wanted more features. Their website isn't the greatest place to read feeds as far as #accessibility goes(I switched to their beta and am giving them some recommendations though, so hopefully that will change), so I'm looking for a good #Windows #app that will sync with Inoreader. I use #FieryFeeds on #iOS but I'm on my computer a lot, so I'd love a Windows app. Can anyone recommend one? I've tried several but they either didn't sync with it or accessibility was bad. Some of the ones I've tried are #FluentReader, #RavenReader, #QuiteRSS, #FeedDemon, #RSSGuard, #RSSOwlnix, and #MyReader. The last one is the only one that seemed to work with Inoreader but accessibility is pretty poor. If any others I mentioned work for you, how did you set it up? If you're using something else, what is it?

@S0G #commafeed is my #rss reader of choice!
What do people use nowadays as #RSSReaders? (Does the concept even still exist?)
It’s to keep track of relevant #ResearchPapers of interest as my main source used to be… Twitter and ResearchGate, which I’ll both be leaving before 2024
Is anyone aware of a news aggregator that behaves similarly to the Google app, but actually listens to your interest/disinterest selections and doesn't force BS "hot" items at you?
I am well aware of rss feeds, but I want a marginally decent algorithm to bring me new and interesting things. I hate having to curate beyond "this is interesting, more please" and "please don't show me this hot trash"
The more and more I see weird and irrelevant stuff on my Google feed on my phone, the more and more I consider finally going ahead and setting up #RSS and making my own #RSSfeed. Sounds crazy considering how much of a zoomer I am, but I've heard it's actually pretty useful!
I already have my own Nextcloud instance setup on my NAS, thankfully - now I just need to figure out what I'd like to add on that feed... 👀
Also, if anyone has any suggestions for #RSSreaders on Android and Linux (preferably #GNOME centric), or some other sort of advice, feel free to mention!
