RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it is a simple, standardized content distribution method that can help you stay up-to-date with your favorite newscasts, blogs, websites, and social media channels. Instead of visiting sites to find new posts or subscribing to sites to receive notification of new posts, find the RSS feed on a website and read new posts in an RSS reader.
Do you use RSS to curate your own information feed? Looking to expand my sources to include different perspectives and new interesting topics and would love any suggestions.
Yes. Self-hosted FreshRSS, which can pull the full articles, reading either via FreshRSS or feedme on android. I basically never visit websites if I’m not searching something specific.
yup. I also use a self hosted FreshRSS server, and it’s great. I can get all my content in one place without having to remember to go to websites.
Nice to see a FOSS alternative to TTRSS. I tried to contribute to the latter once, it was an… interesting experience.
I don’t have first hand experience, but yeah, I’ve read about challenges with the maintainer of TTRSS and decided on FreshRSS. Been very happy with FreshRSS for years so never tried TTRSS.
FreshRSS is great. It’s easy to host and there are so many client apps that can interface with it. I had fallen out of using RSS after google reader died, getting back into it has really eliminated a lot of the wasted time browsing random websites.
