“So many feed readers, so many bizarre behaviors”

https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2024/05/27/feed/

> It's been well over a year since I started serving 429s to clients which are hitting the feed too often. Since then, much has happened, and most of it is generally good news.

Like I’ve said too many times: most software projects fail outright, those that don’t are largely broken, and those that aren’t outright broken are buggy as hell. Much of dev is repair and salvage.

@baldur All one really need know about the #RSS spec to really get a flavor for how well thought out it is, is that it calls for RFC 822 for formatting timestamps.

I love the democratizing principles behind RSS, but it’s a technical omnishambles.

Anyone tried adding <source:blogroll> to their feed? I get an XML parser error when I try. 🤷‍♂️

I've got almost 300 items in my RSS reader. Currently using NewsBoat over ssh to read them but it's less than ideal on mobile. I'm considering switching to Miniflux. Found plenty of positive reviews of it recently. Do you use Miniflux? What's your opinion? #rss #miniflux

Has anyone made a custom recipe for Mastodon feeds in ?

Currently, just adding a feed to the BasicNewsRecipe recipe, you get 'unknown titles', part of the text and please enable javascript in the body.

Calibre guru's, if you don't mind, take a peek at my rss feed at https://oldfriends.live/@paul.rss and point me into the right direction

I'm going to work on this and if I come up with something, will pass it along. I'm slow, though. 🤓

Stop using Social Media for News, RSS is Much Better!

RSS is one place for you to quickly sift through numerous sources of news quickly and efficiently. It’s up to you to decide what feeds to add – as many or as few as you want.

I've just created an account on Feedbin in order to centralise my news watch #RSS

I'm back to 2009, when I was procrastinating on Google Reader instead of writing my PhD thesis 😅

(Well, in the end, following scientific blogs brought me knowledge I'm using everyday.)

ich merke immer wieder dass mein Account auf .social mehr Beiträge anhand von findet, als mein Account auf .net.
Wenn ich auf Friendica den Beitrag von Mastodon dann manuell über die Suche aufrufe, dann wird er als Empfangen angezeigt.
Gibts hier irgendwelche Tricks? Wird wohl auch an der Größe der Instanz liegen.
Ich hatte mal testweise Mastodon Instanzen per RSS abonniert. Genauer Hashtags als . Das hat dann mehr Beiträge nach Friendica gespült. Irgendwann waren diese aber dann doppelt und dreifach, weshalb ich das Experiment wieder aufgegeben habe.

So, I haven't watched for a month, and I don't feel anything was missing. I only listened to two videos while walking.

Now I've finally suspended updates for most YouTube channels. Doing this for each feed (as Tiny Tiny RSS requires) did put things into perspective...

I've spent so much time in some of these channels. Dozens if not hundreds of hours. And it took some effort to accept letting go, even though effectively, I've already done it.

I did leave two channels alive: one channel that served as a source for ~95% of YouTube links in my zettelkasten, and , of course.

We'll see how it goes further.

Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave #reddit for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my #firefox isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

If you did not already, organize yourself a decent #Atom/ #RSS aggregator and follow good content from there. My blog has also feeds to follow: https://karl-voit.at/how-to-use-this-blog/

I presume you could use Mastodon as a feed aggregator as well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mastodon+as+rss+aggregator&ia=web

We need an #RSS reader with "Reply" and "Repost" buttons. These actions would occur on a blog you connect with #Micropub or #XMLRPC, and use #WebMentions to notify the originating site.

est un lecteur pour en ligne de commande, et c'est étonnamment agréable à utiliser.

Comme il ne s'agit que de texte, on est vraiment concentré sur les articles à lire, sans aucune forme de diversion.

Les lecteurs RSS permettent de gérer ses sources d'information et d'exporter/importer ses données d'un lecteur à l'autre (via des fichiers au format OPML), ce qui permet de rester maître de son contenu, sans être envahi de contenus publicitaires.

Welcome @lwindolf who has just joined the fediverse now!
While they appear to be a regular red squirrel, they actually are a nice human who has been benevolently maintaining the feed reader for the last 20+ years (among other things), for y'all who are still reading / Atom feeds with a desktop application.
You should follow them if you're interested in Liferea, devops or sysadmin topics 🐿️

I hacked together a small service in It allows me to post youtube links, which it would then parse, and add autio streams to a private feed. Works like a charm, so I am happy 😊

For obvious reasons (legal, etc.), I don't plan to open-source the code and can't make a service out of it. However, if anyone is interested, let me know, I may eventually share the code on a per-request basis.

I remember someone posting awhile back about a extension that collected feeds as you browsed, but I can't seem to find it anymore in the mastodon search or in Firefox's extension search. Anyone know of such an extension?

@paul@oldfriends.live avatar

@Neblib

I'm not sure I understand, 'collected feeds as you browsed.'

The only two I really know about is awesome-rss, which has the live rss feature, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/awesome-rss/

and Smart Rss. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smart-rss-reader/

Awesome RSS will find the RSS in many cases as you browse and give you an icon in the address bar for activities.
