Yeah, and this also applies to the fediverse as I've recently realized. X instance on a whim de-federating with W, Y and Z is just as bad. It just makes it a PITA to be a user. Plus one would think NSFW on an open platform would be better adopted but everyone avoids it like the plague. Only lemmynsfw is out there, and blocked from many places.

I'm setting up RSS to pull all the content I want from any place.

I’ve been enjoying NewsBlur since Google Reader went offline.

I've been using Bazqux Reader since it's a single guy and seems to work well. I also know that Tiny Tiny RSS is a super cool self hostable one.

Does anyone have any tips on setting up RSS for twitter so it shows more content than what is just on the first page through the https://nitter.net/{{ twitter_account }}/rss method?

I've been using fritter but there's no longer a way to combine feeds from all accounts at once. And when it comes to setting up a regular RSS I run into the feed quantity limitation for each account.

After the closing of Google Reader and years of searching I settled a few years ago with Inoreader. I fully recommend it. They offer subscription discounts throughout the year where you can save ~40% of the cost.

Their webpage app is really good and the Android app is also extremely good and usable.

A great feature that I make use of is their option to create feeds from sites that don't offer RSS. Also I have connected Youtube so I have a feed with an update in my subscriptions

Completely recommended.

Feedly has been a decent RSS service for me. While not self hosted it has been worlds better that TTRSS. That said, it has been roughly a decade since I assessed the space so I am open to alternatives.

It seems I've been missing out and I have a few more services to stand up over the weekend and try out. It's been refreshing this week avoiding reddit.

I've been using the nextcloud RSS reader for a while now. Not the most feature rich, but it does the job for me.

After using RSS feeds for a while on my phone, I switched to using them exclusively on my laptop. Having them on something not as easy to whip out as my phone makes me less inclined to compulsively check them.

I was using Feedly for a long time but just discovered and paid for NewsBlur and it’s amazing. The killer feature is being able to easily see new posts as they come in as part of the Ui rather than having to refresh.

I'm making use of a self-hosted Nextcloud instance for this purpose actually. While I wouldn't necessarily recommend it just for the purposes of RSS, it's a nice addition to the platform for someone who happens to be running an instance for other reasons already. Most of the web-based RSS reader solutions I've come across relied on advertising or other premium membership models to support the service, so an alternative would have to be pretty damn compelling for me to transition away from Nextcloud and start subjecting myself to ads again.

I've been using NewsBlur (and syncing with Reeder on mobile) ever since Google killed their RSS service. It supports parsing some non-RSS sites and services, as well.

I've been using RSSHub and Miniflux for a while now, self-hosted. It's mainly how I read news.
