According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.

EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.

RSS is great for following blogs and sites of specific interests, like local sites, or sites about specific subjects. You get ALL the updates. For example. I live in Baltimore and have a bunch of local sites in my RSS reader.

Reddit/Lemmy, on the other hand, is a more democratically human curated and upvoted aggregator so while it hits all the popular stuff beyond the topics you follow on RSS, it will miss a lot too.

So I use both.

Feedly for hundreds of sites of interest. And Reddit and now Lemmy for the rest.

Good stuff!

Good to see a fellow feedly user. I'm curious, have you subscribed for any of the premium feedly features and if so, would you say they are worth it?

I am Feedly user as well, but use the FeedMe app on Android. I prefer that app over the Feedly one, it's free, and I can add as many categories as I want whereas Feedly limits it to three or so in the free version :)

Oh thanks for the tip. I'll give Feedme a try
