    Inoreader works very nicely for me. I have quite a few folders set up…

    • Digg Top Stories (43 unread) if I get bored - at least a dozen of those will keep me entertained.
    • Reddits (e.g. Dad Jokes)
    • Fediverse (https://lemmy.world/c/dadjokes)

    I added the Firefox extension, so if I visit Youtube - for example (open this in a PRIVATE window, not logged in) Insights from Ukraine and Russia then I can Easily add the RSS by searching in Inoreader.

    Here’s Daily Dose of Internet

    The beauty being that you can quickly go through all this stuff - great keyboard accessibility (90% covered with Shift J-K to go to the next/previous feed, Shift-X to toggle expansion of the folder, J - K to go (and mark read) the next/previous item (but you can ALWAYS view all articles in a thread)… all without visiting the sites.

    Feedly and Inoreader are both awesome - and you can (and should regularly) export a list of your feeds as a backup/migration strategy.

        RSS is one of the oldest protocols existing. Basically it’s like a feed with links to things posted…

        I’d suggest you start with Feedly or Inoreader, make an account and take a look.

        For me, it means that I can see notifications (Inoreader) telling me how many unread items have occurred across the 79 websites I added as feeds.

        • I have a folder for ‘Fediverse’ with feeds like Lemmy - ukraine (also Reddit’s r/ukraine).

        • I have a ‘Linux’ folder, containing a few interesting blogs - like Niccolo’s KDE developer blog, a few news sites, plus announcements from my OS forum.

        • I have a ‘News’ folder with various sources (one is a journalist I know with a Facebook page - as I don’t use Facebook).

        • I have a ‘Video’ folder

        • I have a ‘Time Waster’ folder which has things like Digg, WindowSwap, Drive & Listen

        Basically, any time you make an account and request updates from a website, the same can be done with NO account and simply copying the RSS link.

        It gives you updates on things you don’t need to bother bookmarking or opening to follow.

          I’m still bitter about bloglines shutting down. I tried thisoldreader and inoreader but it never felt the same. Then I found reddit.

      Feedly is great, use it for my private RSS stuff.

      At work, on macos, I use rssbot - which isn’t an RSS reader but just an … uhm … rss linker? It doesn’t feature the capability to read content but just gives you a list of links to anything new. If that’s enough for you, it’s a great app.
