1. What's the limit and the diversity of the feeds do you have?
2. What software/service do you use now and prefer?
3. How far are you depended on the Social Media algorithms' prioritizing the contents that could potentially save much time?
4. What is the solution for the websites/social media that doesn't provide RSS feed in itself?
5. RSS feeds now - Worth it?
2. I use sfeed with dmenu (and read content in the browser). Low resource usage, simple setup, scriptable. I have not been happy with any of the (android) smartphone-based RSS software that I've tried. The interfaces are clumsy, and trying to sort through the giant list of content on a touchscreen with my fat fingers without error was frustrating.
3. Not at all. I don't use any of the big social media, and for more niche social media (like HN), I don't use RSS.
4. This is not a problem, in my experience. RSS/atom are pretty simple and have implementations in nearly every widely used software stack on the web, so pretty much every site has an rss feed (although they don't always advertise it!). However, if I absolutely needed updates on a specific site that didn't have a feed and didn't care enough to manually check it everyday, I would probably just use curl to scrape it.
5. Yes.
Release feeds for third party software dependencies. I read the release notes, pull the repos, read commit logs sometimes, etc.
Feeds from Hacker News, and monitoring a few keywords for comments and 'stories'.
>2. What software/service do you use now and prefer?
I use Mozilla Thunderbird for both emails and RSS.
>3. How far are you depended on the Social Media algorithms' prioritizing the contents that could potentially save much time?
I don't understand this question, and would be unable to answer one interpretation of this question given the fact I do not know how these "algorithms" work.
>4. What is the solution for the websites/social media that doesn't provide RSS feed in itself?
I don't know. There has not yet been a website lacking an RSS feed that I felt the need to monitor that closely to think of a solution to this problem.
>5. RSS feeds now - Worth it ?
Yes.
I use Feedly as an aggregator and mostly read on my iPhone with Reeder.

Can you share hackernews feeds? I wasn't aware there were any available.

2- QuiteRSS
3- None.
4- Provide a nagging comment on the HN/Reddit article to provide a feed. I get they wouldn't want to, but still I try to make my case.
5- Absolutely, now more than ever. IMHO, I realized that if I could keep curating my feeds somewhat regularly, then I could actually lay off proggit and even HN.
I don't have it set up but I wish I did. It would make things so much easier.
