I frankly hate those posts in which people tells me what I should do. Just write "Hey, look, this is cool!" and let me judge it and decide.
Same. I'm guessing the clickbait algorithm favors the "should" phrasing, which is annoying.
Google Reader was my goto and when they killed that I tried a bunch of others and none quite hit the same. Gutted that one hit the Google graveyard.
Classic Embrace-Extend-Extinguish move.
It's 2004 again lol The good ol days.
RSS is back. Forums are back. It's brilliant. Now I just need Musk and Zuck and Bezos to be no longer relevant to anybody's lives.
I've been interested in trying out RSS again but I don't want to self-host. Can anyone recommend a RSS client (hosted, local, or whatever) that they like?
It can be as simple as just putting an app on your phone. I use feeder which is fine. Pretty bare bones, but in that way it's easy to learn and use.
I've also been meaning to try out an app called Nunti, which I heard about a while ago from this Lemmy post. It claims to be an RSS reader with the added benefit of an (open source and fully local) algorithm to provide some light curation of your feed. It looks interesting, but I haven't actually tried it out yet because I'm still deciding whether I want any algorithm curating my feed, even one as transparent as Nunti's. It's also only available through F-Droid right now, which is a bit of a barrier to entry.
The fact that it's only available through fdroid is actually a good thing in my opinion.

I used Feedly since Google Reader was shut down. Then 1.5 years ago, as Feedly was getting more paywalls and AI-crap, I switched to Newsblur, and have been a happy user ever since. I love its Intelligence Trainer that lets me hide posts with certain tags/authors/keywords.
Unlimited hosted-by-them Newsblur costs 36 USD / year. It has a FLOSS version and a more limited free hosted-by-them version, but the 2.5 GBP / month was worth the QoL increase for me.
Thunderbird has RSS integrated, which could be quite neat once that synchronizes.

For iOS, this one doesn't collect any data. It's pretty barebones, but also free. It nags you a bunch at first but eventually stopped
NetNewsWire is the iOS and macOS app for RSS. It has been around since RSS started out and is now open source.
It doesn't have keyword filters or at least I can't find them.
I am using RSS and I love it
We gotta bring back usenet servers and dare I say IRC and Telnet
SSH over telnet but IRC is still alive and kicking
Shot out to freshness, been using that for years! Self hosting it
