Comment on Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024

I’ve never left RSS. Went to Feedly like a lot of people. These days I’m using a self-hosted instance of miniflux because I got sick of Feedly making “enhanced” feeds and then not letting me get to the real RSS feed anymore.

I went with a self-hosted FreshRSS instance, it has its issues but it works well with the client apps I use.

  Which client apps do you use?

    NetNewsWire on iOS and the Mac. Pretty great, and it’s FOSS to boot. Still working on a decent front end on other OSes, the web client is okay-fine but could be better.

    I’ve got Readrops which has freshrss support for when I get my instance up.

What is this enhanced feed feature of Feedly that I have never heard of? Is it a premium feature of something?

  I ran into a couple of them but the most notable was reddit (before the APIpocolypse). If you try to subscribe to the RSS feed of a sub it will ignore your request and ask you to sign in to Reddit instead. It then uses the API instead of the API feed and reports your reading habits back to Reddit.

    Oh lol. I wonder how that’s going - especially when they had to drop their enhanced feeds for Twitter.

I need this miniflux in my life. I’ve been just putting up with Feedly. I understand they have to make money, but I don’t want to pay for RSS. Especially if I can DIY.
