I use it for news aggregation with Nextcloud news. Also for podcasts and PeerTube channels. Anyone using RSS for other things?
- For my Mastodon feed, so I don’t have to open yet another app
- For my Youtube and Nebula subscriptions, same
- For a few FB pages & others that post events, same
- For my Lemmy feed, same
- For all my news feeds (curated, usually) for a quick look at everything
- For my friends’ posts so I know I won’t miss a single one
I currently use the premium plan for Inoreader. I like tinyRSS, just didn’t do it for me; I’ve been using RSS since Google Reader.
For RSS feed recommendations you can also take inspiration from this post: https://beehaw.org/post/618286
For qbittorrent for sites I know I will want their stuff.
My use is not foss because I didn’t find something that fits my needs better than Inoreader. There is the android app which works fine and also a very nice web interface that I can use at work because without thumbnails it looks like a ‘boring’ list of stuff.
Never used Inoreader, but recently switched to Newsblur which is open source (app installable via F-Droid) and selfhostable. If you don’t want to self host they have a freemium model to use their hosted service, couldn’t tell you what free vs paid gets you but I haven’t bumped into any limits yet. You can also log in to their site to browse via web browser.
So far the app looks better than other open source readers I’ve tried and thumbnails generally load so the lists are a bit livelier.
I use this lightweight reader by the same dev who makes Bookstack. Just for news though. I use Audiobookshelf for podcasts.
Nothing special, just WaPo, NPR, NYT, etc. I just prefer aggregating all those sites instead of going to them individually when I some that kind of news.
