I'm finding some really interesting blogs out there, and am reminded of the early days of the internet, when it wasn't all monetized and people just wrote about stuff they were interested in for fun. And I had an RSS feeder and got updates when people posted stuff. Plus blogrolls.

So I'm sure there's a way to do this now in , right? Can someone point me in the right direction? I've heard about elfeed but don't know anything about it.

Thanks, good people of Mastodon.

@birv2 Not the answer you're looking for but that's how I do it:

Paid account at https://www.newsblur.com/ (Freemium!) + Android-App

I prefer that non-Emacs workflow over Emacs because I read feeds mostly off-computer in bed, in public transportation systems, on the toilet, ... I occasionally capture interesting stuff via Orgzly and then process it on my main computer in Emacs when I'm returning.

HTH

@publicvoit Downloaded the iOS app, thanks! You say there’s a free version?

@birv2 A web-based service has the advantage that all my desktop browsers as well as the app are in sync with the read/unread information.

I'm sure that is also possible for Elfeed when you sync the meta-data as well. However, since I'm reading feeds mostly away from my computer, this was the better solution to me.

@birv2 AFAIR you can use NewsBlur for free up to a certain amount of feeds (100?). Take a look at their site and their rates.

I do have more feeds and I wanted to support the service. My previous one did ran out of money and was cancelled. Too bad.
