RSS feeds
I started self hosting my own RSS feed a few years ago, and I couldn't live without it. It's the best way to get timely info.
And then you can be the first one to post it on lemmy.
Came here to say this
I setup tinyrss a month or so ago, I just can't get into it. Any tips?
Into your instance or into RSS in general?
Generally what are you using it for? I've had trouble finding uses outside of youtube and a handful of news sites.
I follow some blogs, news sites, and GitHub project releases so I'm up to date to what I'm interested in.
github is a good one, I didn't think of that. Thank you
I loved netvibes to get daily comics and blog posts. Unfortunately people stopped writing blogs and netvibes is also gone
Blogs are having a timid resurgence I would say. Also not everyone stopped writing blogs, I have been following some since 2008 or so... When Google Reader was a thing lol
I think they are a lot more obscure because we prioritise social networks over blogs, so do search indexers. But they are still there!
Comics are now mostly on Instagram, but you can make Instagram RSS feeds with things like rss-bridge
Friends stopped writing their blogs. I slowly stopped reading most comics, now only Questionable Content and the occasional xkcd remains
He really should bring back blogging and that shit was awesome
