I started self hosting my own RSS feed a few years ago, and I couldn't live without it. It's the best way to get timely info.

And then you can be the first one to post it on lemmy.

I setup tinyrss a month or so ago, I just can't get into it. Any tips?

[โ€“] phampyk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Into your instance or into RSS in general?

[โ€“] Flying_Hellfish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Generally what are you using it for? I've had trouble finding uses outside of youtube and a handful of news sites.

I follow some blogs, news sites, and GitHub project releases so I'm up to date to what I'm interested in.

github is a good one, I didn't think of that. Thank you

I loved netvibes to get daily comics and blog posts. Unfortunately people stopped writing blogs and netvibes is also gone

Blogs are having a timid resurgence I would say. Also not everyone stopped writing blogs, I have been following some since 2008 or so... When Google Reader was a thing lol

I think they are a lot more obscure because we prioritise social networks over blogs, so do search indexers. But they are still there!

Comics are now mostly on Instagram, but you can make Instagram RSS feeds with things like rss-bridge

Friends stopped writing their blogs. I slowly stopped reading most comics, now only Questionable Content and the occasional xkcd remains
