It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.

I’m a big fan of feedly but the issue I run into is if I miss a few days it takes so long to sift through everything to find what I’m most interested in

My solution to this is to be more stringent with the feeds that I add. In this day and age, there’s so much volume, that the important metric is signal-to-noise ratio.

If I find myself skipping the articles from a feed more often than opening them, I just unsubscribe.

Sure they still pile up if I miss a few days, but not nearly as before.

Feeder is a great Android app. It even fetches the full content from Paywalled sites

Same. I was using Google Reader since it launched, and I migrated to Feedly when Reader went tits-up and they offered migration help. For 18 years now I’ve had a few dozen news websites set up for just about every interest I have and I have seen nothing come across Reddit in the last 12 years that I’ve been using it that I didn’t also see on Feedly within an hour of it’s Reddit posting.

I’m honestly tempted to start looking into RSS, I’ve never used it before but now without reddit it would be nice to have a centralized location to view absolutely everything relevant to my interests.
