I used to read quite a bit of news, sometimes I still try, but tbh every news site feels so hostile I have a hard time trusting it’s a decent source....
sometimes I would like a different source than Lemmy
If using an aggregator is still overkill for you, I suggest using Feedly and populate it from your favourite sources here.
You can set it to give you only three articles per day from those, which is actually how my brother uses it. I used it for a long time before finding Reddit and now Lemmy, and always found the Android app to be very good.
let me know if you use atypical methods to read your news, such as a custom feed.
While Feedly exists for that purpose, you are missing the social aspect of Lemmy/the Fediverse. I now use the Jerboa app as my only social media, and I filter by subscribed only and sort by new. It makes the feed curated enough for my needs and I get to talk to people who I wouldn’t otherwise, about things I may not IRL. That experience as a whole makes news consumption much more agreeable to me.
If you want to keep a separate “digital newspaper” then Feedly works well.
What news sources or article authors do you follow?
