I took the same path, probably the first time google broke my heart.
Comment on Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
tea@lemmy.today 1 year agoWhat is Reddit if not a glorified collection of RSS feeds with comments?
I went from Google Reader to Reddit. It scratched very much the same itch. I remember having quite the curated list of RSS feeds subscribed to. Still pissed that Google killed it.

We really just need a Reader replacement. I’m sure there is something out there I don’t know about.
If not, perhaps I’ll make one and become a billionaire on the RSS bandwagon!

feedly.com

Was about to say lol. Right in those last days/weeks of Google Reader, Feedly loudly stepped up and offered to help people import their data over and continue on. I'd assume the majority of people who had been on Reader, who didn't quit using feeds entirely, probably migrated to Feedly the day Reader shut down.

That’s what I did! Over time I stopped looking at Feedly though. I replaced it with Reddit and Twitter mainly. Now that those sites have become Pure Evil I switched over to Apple News. I already pay for the Plus thing as part of the family bundle so might as well use it. The “Following” tab works like a personally-curated RSS feed list. If you want an algorithmic approach, you can use the “Today” tab.
The one main feature it’s still lacking that I really want is a pure chronological list of everything from my Following sources/topics. I sent them feedback so I’m sure it will show up any time in the next 5-15 years.

Inoreader has been my go to, or The Old Reader which is closer to Google Readers style.

Inoreader perhaps?

I used Feedly for many years, but recently switched to Newsblur, and I love that it lets me filter out posts by tags or keywords, finally don’t have to use external tools for it.
tea@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Trying this out now. It’s awesome. Might have found a new doomscrolling default…
tea@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Is Feedly still a thing and okay? I remember it being the stopgap between Google Reader and Reddit, however I’m not sure where it lies on the “free version is good enough” vs “completely gimped free version and the real product is the paid one”

I’m using the free version and not missing the paid features!

I’ve been using Flym since they killed Reader.
