Oh hi there access to news feed that doesn't suck or involve a bunch of tracking or bookmarks or web browser shenanigans.

Thanks so much to The Intercept for including the entire article in your feeds!

Do folks on here have any favorite feeds? (especially ones that include at least a good excerpt and not just a link to website which sorta defeats a lot of the purpose)

#rss + #emacs + #elfeed mode

@slackz I use quiterss on debian. It can tag the feed, organize them, import and export, basically, it rocks.

@arteteco thanks, I'll check that out! Def new to the world of rss. Much love to Aaron Swartz (rest in peace)

Any fav reader for android?

@slackz I use feeder, available on f-droid (link at the bottom). It has more or less the same functionality of quiterss, I keep the two synces by importing/exporting feed list, but I didn't do much research on android as I mainly read with the pc.

@arteteco officially very happy with Feeder, thanks! Building up a nice list of feeds. Love the UI. This is exactly what I wanted out of a reader.

Cheers!

@slackz glad to be of some help in luring you into the feed world!

Remember, you can also subscribe to youtube channels, fediverse accounts, subreddits... life is better this way =D

@arteteco oh shit, didn't even know that. that's dope. totally gonna subscribe to my youtube channels; been w/o a proper acct there for a while, so I'd love to stay up to date.

btw, duuuuuude, you gotta check this out:

quiterss didn't quite do it for me (scaling and other issues). Involves some container deps (first time using flatpak), but this looks super slick. was really easy to import the opml file backup from feeder too. Looks great!

@slackz Uh, I didn't notice no scaling issue with quiterss, so far performance has been alright. I'll look into it anyway, UI looks pretty nice
