I’ve been trying to lean back into using RSS again after realizing I shouldn’t let the algorithms decide what I see. What RSS feeds do you people follow and why? Any recommendations? Do you tend to follow the RSS feeds of Lemmy as well?

    A bunch of software development blogs that I’ve collected (~40). I’d love to share a list but I can’t find an easy way to export them from Feedly :(

    Related: what are the best rss readers out there? I’ve been mostly happy with Feedly but I’d really like something that is:

    • FOSS
    • No login/account, all data local
    • Android app
    • Follow RSS feeds, sort into categories
    • Save for later
    • Save favourites
    • Tag categories
    • Import/export subscriptions
    • Read full text locally in the app (don’t need to open the website)
    • Supports text to speech

      I also self host FreshRSS. Was super easy to setup. I don’t expose it, so when away from home I use wire guard to connect to my home network.

      Ahh yes, the walled garden trap.

      I self-host a copy of FreshRSS which does most of those things. No Android app but the PWA works.

      Whether you can read the full text in the app or not usually depends on whether the source provides a feed with the full text in it - changing your reader app won’t make much difference.

      Like others below, I use FreshRSS for the server component. I have the Read You app on my phone which syncs with it, and makes for a pleasant reading experience.
