A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's always good to be in control of your own content sources.

The problem isn't that I don't know about RSS, it's more that I don't really have any content sources that use it

How come?

I get the top hacker news from an RSS feed (https://hnrss.github.io/), individual blogs, YouTube channels, twitter accounts (getting the RSS feeds from nitter), etc

Most websites will have RSS hidden underneath.

the biggest thing that I would use it for would be individual blogs, I just only have 3 or 4 of those that I follow.

For the others, it doesn't help me that much to centralize them. Like with the hacker news rss feed, I can't comment or interact from the rss reader, so I might as well use the website. With twitter, all of my twitter follows are already centralized on twitter; same with youtube, reddit, or lemmy -- they already have feeds, and I can't interact from my feedreader.

I miss Google Reader. Is there anything like that now? Also, can anyone recommend an Android app for RSS?

I am using FeedMe on Android, and FreshRSS (RSS Aggregator) in Docker on a Raspberry Pi.
