OP, where's your feed then? I would like to subscribe to it.
Yep came here to mention that too. You find it under '/rss', but website owner should really put auto-detect in their header and add a link for it.

#152I'm with Inoreader and have never been happier. They integrate what they can, which means public Twitter and Facebook feeds, Telegram channels and also plain web pages with either text or image-based tracking in addition to all the "normal" RSS goodies. RSS never died, but a lot of people gave up on "their" web which has been both premature and unnecessary.

#153How do you set up an RSS feed?
Depends on what your website is built on. But in any case, you can write a feed.xml yourself and update it manually on each new blogpost.

#154When I see articles like this, my reaction is always: when did RSS go away? I have close to 200 sites in my Feedly list, and I have trouble keeping up with all the articles I get from RSS every day. I think that what the author really means is that he misses RSS feeds from Twitter. I don't use Twitter, so from my perspective, RSS is as present and useful as it was 20 years ago.
It's depressingly and irritatingly common to come across podcasts now which provide links to a dizzying array of podcast aggregation services but not to o their RSS feed, even though they definitely have one because it's how you feed data to these services in the first place. I suspect a lot of blogs only have a feed now because it's a default feature of the blog platform they use rather than because they see it as i…
I believe that there was an agenda to kill RSS, very much like how the auto makers in the United States conspired to kill public transit.
I don't buy any of the arguments not to implement it. I don't think it is too expensive or confusing. I think it is too empowering to users and inconvenient to marketers.

I just logged into my Feedly for the first time in a couple years (maybe longer). I had moved all my RSS from Google Reader to Feedly back when all that went down.
Turns out, most of the blogs I subscribed to back in the day are now defunct or not updated much. I think that's why I eventually stopped going to my Feedly for RSS aggreggation, and instead for the few moments a day I want to read news/waste time, I just go directly to The Verge, Hacker News, and/or Reddit.
Funny aside, though. My product at work still has a RSS plugin for importing content, and I have it pointed at Reddit RSS feeds for sub-reddits, and it's still working....
Re: I Miss RSS
#156The author paints it as some kind of conspiracy, but the simple truth is that RSS waned in popularity once push notifications became popular and widespread. Every user's RSS reader polling every website for changes every few minutes for all eternity is horribly inefficient and unfeasible to do on most platforms and devices today (especially on mobile). Pub/sub is the clear way forward, but it's just sad that there is…
Push notifications are a replacement for RSS in the same way that cars are a replacement for public transit.
This is a nonsense comparison. RSS is about presentation, not about real time interaction. And it would not be hard to have RSS feeds support push notifications, or other modernization.
RSS is a universal and accessible way of presenting content, that is what is so inconvenient about it to publishers.
The business model of most platforms today has RSS as competition. It completely undermines analytics, and their ability to fine-tune presentation, for the benefit of the end-user.
So of course GM will say that their gas guzzlers make electric trains obsolete.

BTW, I just also realized, that I get a lot of my articles/news from my Google News widget on my Android phone (and in the Google News app on my iPad), and the AI on that has curated a pretty decent list of topics that I like to follow.
Re: I Miss RSS
#158This turned up in my RSS feed of hacker news. Yes, google basically killed RSS through embrace, extend, extinguish. There’s no money in democratizing self-publishing.
I get the RSS feed of Hacker News via Feedbin, but only as a backup; I find it much more pleasant to log on to the website once or twice a day and browse.
Re: I Miss RSS
#159I'm starting to get as tired of "I miss RSS" blog posts as I used to be of those ever-so-authentic-and-grassroots "RSS is dying!" blog posts years and years ago.
I don't miss RSS, I use it all the damn time.

Here's HN's RSS:

Let's hope it will not go defunct anytime soon.
