Very nice to see the author uses Flarum ( https://flarum.org ) an open-source forum software to power his blog. Very innovative use! We also use Flarum to power our user feedback site for Orion browser https://orionfeedback.org another example of Flarum's ability to adopt to different use cases.
When 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.
Active RSS user here till Google killed Reader. I tried using Feedly last year. Added feeds and it was HORRIBLE experience. Not Feedly but the actual feeds. Some of them give you the title and then tell you to go to actual website to read the article. Others has a virtually non-existent summary. During RSS's heydays I remember being able to just see the summary and click on it and read the article right there and the…

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'm also surprised no one has pointed out the irony that the author's blog doesn't have an RSS feed. That would be the least you could do to keep it around.

Of course these days browsers don't indicate that browsers are available. You will need an extension to detect feeds. (Or paste the site in your feed reader and hope it does, most readers will do the auto-discovery for you)

How did you aggregate so many sources to read articles from? What is your discovery process? Do you have any recommendation where I can read good stuff from?
I believe a lot of the bigger sites like Feedly will recommend you popular feeds. I would love a service that I can paste a list of feeds into and it could recommend popular related feeds.

Same. Though I don't follow as many sites. Really useful for blogs and website with irregular/no update schedule
The one time I wanted to use an RSS feed I found I had no (acceptable) way to ensure I didn't miss data. New items could be truncated off the feed after anywhere between 10 minutes and two hours, and the solution to this was supposedly to use a third party service to sit in the middle and act as a buffer. There was no way to provide a timestamp or anything like that and I presume the reason is its meant to be generat…
However WebSub requires that you have an "always online" device to receive the notification and very few feeds and readers support pagnation.
