RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it is a simple, standardized content distribution method that can help you stay up-to-date with your favorite newscasts, blogs, websites, and social media channels. Instead of visiting sites to find new posts or subscribing to sites to receive notification of new posts, find the RSS feed on a website and read new posts in an RSS reader.
Do you use RSS to curate your own information feed? Looking to expand my sources to include different perspectives and new interesting topics and would love any suggestions.
Yeah, of course. How else will I know when my various serialized content updates? Like, are people out there just checking a list of blogs and comics by hand every few days? I used to do that before RSS, and it suuuuuucked.
I use fluent reader with the following rss feeds (though I really need to expand

Yup! I use Feeder as my RSS aggregator of choice
I subscribe to technology news sites and lgbtq+ news sites using it, since it’s waaay better than going into each site and finding an article that interests me, opposed to opening feeder and finding my links categorized by site
I have a hosted rss reader/aggregate set up. But I only occasionally check it and read or go through a few.
Yep! There’s a community here for recommendations related to RSS too! !rssfeeds@lemmy.world
I’ve recently realized that I may also want a different desktop app (so not necessarily involving a server) for reading RSS feeds than what I’ve been using. Was trying to use Thunderbird for this for the convenience of email/calendar/RSS, but I have this feeling that it may not be able to adequately handle some of the variations I’ve seen cropping up with some sites’ RSS (which may be those sites mucking it up more than anything to do with Thunderbird tbh but not sure).
Yes
I stopped using RSS around when I started using Reddit, so around 2008-2009!
I’m surprised to see that it’s still so popular, or has it gained traction again recently?
I didn’t hear much about RSS in between 2010-2022 TBH.Yep, I use Read You on Android / LineageOS!
Yeah. I run my own FreshRSS server and use FeedMe to access it. It’s mostly just a bunch of UK newspapers and tech news sites because I realised I was getting all my news from Twitter and I wanted to cut back my use of Twitter. It’s fine. The great thing about getting my news from social media was that I’d follow a load of people with similar interests to me so I’d mostly just see articles that interested me regardless of the source. Now it takes more scrolling to get past the articles I don’t care about to find the ones I want to read. It means I get a broader overview of news that isn’t effectively curated for me, either by other people or by algorithm, but it’s not as engaging. It is the right choice though if you’re looking to see more outside of what you’re usually shown, as you say.
I’ve been running tiny tiny tss (ttrs) server since google reader died. It’s been great & there’s an android app.
Yes, I use feedly. Newsblur is restricting a lot of things in their free version, but I find Feedly more open.
