Interestingly (on reflection, not surprisingly) since going back to RSS, I've been reading a lot more from sites with expert content, but ugly typography. - Math Babe ( https://mathbabe.org ) + Superb musings and coverage on the societal impact of everything becoming a prediction problem (occasional applied technical discussion) - Tech Dirt ( https://www.techdirt.com/ ) + Lawyers Rule Everything Around Me - Light Blu…

Tech Dirt seems to have quite a high volume. Do you use any filtering, or just manually scan over?

Here's my pastebin: http://pastebin.com/X6mMEMD1 I removed the "IRL" category of people I know personally. Lots of these are defunct. "Comics" is the only category I keep up with on a daily basis -- the rest is much more sporadic, just based on what catches my eye when I'm skimming the unread list. I have around 6000 unread items at the moment. After Google Reader closed down, I switched to Feedly for a few months, t…

Yeah, Tiny Tiny RSS is pretty good. It's reliable, it never chokes on a feed and it has a decent Android app. I've been using it since before Google Reader shut down, and I'm quite happy with it.

Fiery Feeds[1] is a decent app for iOS that supports tt-rss.

I don't actually use RSS for news, because all the regularly updating sites I read fall into four categories: - News sites like HN or LWN, where I find the RSS experience quite suboptimal compared to participating directly. - Blogs, which I read entirely via Planet aggregators: Planet Debian, Planet GNOME, Kernel Planet, and Planet Mozilla. - Comics, serialized stories, and other things where I want to read every pag…

I stopped using RSS readers after the demise of Google Reader & my shift to Twitter. But I can't live without these sites which take me almost to all the placed on the net :) HackerNews- Daily morning read, can't live without it. Slashdot - News for nerds, stuff that matters :) Techmeme - A river of news to read corporate tech news. Kottke - I am not kidding, I read it daily to impress my 8 year old daughter - from Pixar to movies to planet discoveries. Techdirt - Interesting debates on tech policies. Edge.org - If you really have good supply of Coffee & very solid conversations.

Enjoy.

Mozilla Hacks [0] is pretty much the only feed that makes sense recommending here. There's a lot of very detailed explanations for technical problems and their solution in there, which I find pretty interesting. Otherwise, though, less so a specific feed and more a general idea what to put in there: YouTube channels. There's a few channels which I follow, but I don't particularly fancy visiting youtube.com for it, an…

For youtube you could manually add channel or user ID's to the end of these URL strings to get RSS feeds:

Which RSS reader do you all use? RSS fell by the wayside for me after Google Reader was shutdown. I thought HN+Reddit+Twitter+Medium would replace it but I still find myself missing updates from several wonderful sites that don't update regularly.

Gwene's rss-to-nntp converter: gwene.org. Which has been down for the past couple of days, and I'm missing my fix!

What's LWH ?

LWN: https://lwn.net/ . Best source for FOSS news; next best thing to reading all of the Linux Kernel mailing list and many other first-hand sources, as well as reports from numerous conferences.

I cut 80-90% of my feeds in the last years and prefer digests now because they provide more information for less time spent reading.
