I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.

Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.

Check out r/lemmino lol.

Oh RSS feed is a good idea. The only sub I still check is r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks xd

Edit: Anyone knows a better free web-based RSS reader than Feedly? It kept sending me to its paid service for trying to sub to a Reddit feed, until I subbed to it via SiftRSS D:

Ive been using FreshRSS for years. You can either selfhost it or use one of the public instances.

Thanks, I'll check that one out too :)

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the "web based". Today I'm incredibly distracted.

Feeder is pretty good if you use Android.

No worries, but I'm a diehard PC user xd

I might end up going with an open-source desktop app in the end, both Fluent Reader and Raven Reader look good.

I self host FreshRSS & RSS-Bridge in Docker and view everything in Fluent Reader (Linux), FeedMe (Android), and Read You (Android). I absolutely love it!

I tried out Fluent Reader (Windows) yesterday, but it was a bit buggy and lacked some necessary features, so I'm testing NewsBlur for now. The free version is kinda limited, but I love the training feature, and in general it feels the most user-friendly out of the 4-5 services/apps I tried yesterday.

hosting freshrss locally and just tested that it can subscribe to reddit no problems (although I don't want to) - their cloud instances should work : https://www.freshrss.org/cloud-providers.html

[–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

thanks, I'll check it out! I'd probably go with one of their cloud instances, as self-hosting is a pain with my skill level.

I have been using CommaFeed for years. I'm not a huge fan of the most current design, but overall it works well.

thanks, I'll check it out :)
