Theres much much more.. Smaller kills sometimes are the most effective. Think about Google RSS Reader the best rss reader to ever exist…

What did it do better than other RSS readers?

[–] mark@programming.dev 8 points 4 months ago

Yeah same thing I was wondering. There are still a lot of great RSS readers. Arguably even better than Google Reader was.

Fast, and easy to edit. It was a fantastic start page.

[–] Hardy@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

The UI imo

For me it was that all my friends used it. So we share and comment posts a lot there. Now we do not have an alternative.

What is a good RSS reader? I keep meaning to get into RSS at some point and make myself a feed. Is there a good guide or preferred software or however it works?

[–] ZombieBait@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago

I ended up on Inoreader after Google Reader shut down. I've never needed more than the free tier and it works pretty well.

Bookmarking this as I'm in the same position, godspeed my brother.

Depends on what you are looking for. I like Akregator but it's quite old-school.

Theoldreader.com is a good clone
