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?

You're right --- I just skim the headlines.

http://thebrowser.com (subtitle: "Writing worth reading") is one of my favorites.

It is basically one voracious reader (Robert Cottrell) who trawls the internet to select 5-6 pieces worth reading every day. It's a good combo of news, economics, science, and just random, beautiful writing – I really value non-tech-related writing it introduces into my feed/life. (There is a subscription fee to see more 2-3 of today's articles, but it's like $30 a year).

I also recommend subscribing to a filtered feed of HackerNews if you feel like it's taking up too much of your time but you don't want to give it up entirely :). I follow http://hnrss.org/newest?points=100 so I only see articles that get at least 100 points.

I'm a big fan of Feedly, have been using it since they came out and the constantly keeps improving stuff.

Among the things I subscribe too are about a 100 webcomics.

Decided to share all my RSS links here: http://feedshare.net/theknarf/

A lot of different stuff on that list, but mostly programming, web development and comics.

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.

I'm completely in love with Feedly. They also replicated Google Readers api, so you can use Feedly as your single-sign on, but use another RSS reader that understands the old Google Reader-api if you prefer to jugle RSS readers around a little.

About 200 different feeds, so knowing what you're looking for would be good. I use Brief on FireFox with Live Bookmarks. Let's me control frequency of downloads, navigate using keyboard, etc.

Just paste it on pastebin!

Or rather share your feeds on http://feedshare.net !

RSS feeds rock! Just needs a bit of tweaking to lower the noise, which is still very low, and best of all - untouched by algorithmic sorting, compared to social platforms like Twitter, Facebook etc. Some interesting feeds we've created using Feedity are listed at https://feedity.com/featured.aspx shameless plug: Using our tool at https://feedity.com , you can create custom feeds for any webpage (including Twitter and…

thanks for the shameless plug, I was looking for exactly this the last time I tried making a habit out of reading RSS feeds.

I use inoreader + reeder. Reeder integrates with Pocket so I can read offline.

I follow:

- Newsites: HN, Dzone, Voxxed, ARS Technica, Highscalability...

- Webcomics (Xkcd, Commitstrip, Dilbert...)

- Youtube channels: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={channel...

- Most of these: https://github.com/kilimchoi/engineering-blogs

I just read Hacker News :).

shameless plug: I also created a weekly newsletter for frontend development - for lazy/busy people like me that don't want to sift through the millions of blogs/articles/aggregators. @frontendweekly1
