@molly0xfff Yes! I use Inoreader, as well, and for the same reasons. I especially prefer RSS to email newsletters as I am more likely to read what in my feed as opposed to what’s in my Inbox.

Let’s also not forget that podcasts are also delivered via RSS reader, so you’re not restricted to just print sources when you subscribe to RSS feeds.

@kevingamin @molly0xfff You probably know, but for others who don’t: Inoreader will let you create an email address for you to subscribe to newsletters and get them directly in your feeds. That feature is one of the reasons I switched to it recently over other RSS options.

@kevingamin @molly0xfff I am using Fiery Reader, one particularly usefull feature is that one can (feed by feed) choose between the RSS text or a fully rendered webview, which suits some feeds better.

Probably Apple only, but both iOS/iPadOS and macos is supported.

@kevingamin @molly0xfff I am using the new Feeder app, it's really nice. It's GPLv3 FLOSS, just works, merges feeds, requires no account, can display the articles in browser through one click. I highly recommend for these reasons github.com/spacecowboy/feeder

@kevingamin @molly0xfff You can also get YouTube channels:
https:// www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<CHANNEL ID>

To get the Channel ID, go to a YouTube channel page, right click, view source, look a link like: https:// www.youtube.com/channel/UCDn-QZtwFrmb9T9o5YYsPEQ

Replace the <CHANNEL ID> above with the UCDn-.... at the end. eg:
https:// www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCDn-QZtwFrmb9T9o5YYsPEQ

@mpp @molly0xfff I thought we could, just couldn’t remember how. This is good info.

@kevingamin @molly0xfff sorry to go on a tangent, it stirred a thought in me - what are the craziest things transmitted by rss?

@kevingamin @molly0xfff Yesssss, you can have my RSS feeds when you pry them from my cold dead hands!

I like Inoreader but here is another good option. Mention the RSS url to rss-parrot.net/ and you get back a Mastodon feed which will take stuff from RSS and put it on your timeline. (Doesn’t work with private or paid feeds)

@nekodojo @kevingamin @molly0xfff I use inoreader for RSS, but don't really spend much time on it. I'm more likely to see things that show up here in mastodon. Thanks for posting this!
