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.

Feedly is OK

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…

Thanks so much for posting a list of 6000 mostly broken links.

I like NewsBlur, has a good web client and a nice app for iOS (phone and pad).

Edit: maybe also for Android but I simply don't know.

Inoreader has plenty of advanced features. It's better than what Google Reader was like.

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 actually find RSS more valuable for sites that do not update often. You know, that one blog from an incredible guy who posts five times a year, or from a friend of yours who post a project update even now and then. I also subscribe for sites that update very often, such as Hack a Day, so I can scan the headlines and sort very fast what I want to save for later (GTD style). For this, I use newsblur keyboard shortcut…

I tend to use Comic Rocket for those rarely-updating sites too; anything with a next link works. For instance, I read http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/ that way, and several other things that update even less often (a few times a year).

Every time I try an RSS reader, I find myself drowning in things I don't actually care to read in their entirety. And I prefer to read almost everything on the original site, rather than in a newsreader.

Digg Reader. It's simple but functional.

I used to use Digg and switched over recently to Inoreader, way better in almost every way.
