Got Feeder to try RSS on my PC based on this post, added a bunch of cool sites, was enjoying it, and then quickly got smacked in the face with "upgrade to view more posts".
Anyone recommend an RSS reader that doesn't have stupid "fuck you, pay me" limitations?
https://www.inoreader.com/ used it for years it's great!
Oof. The real Feeder is a FOSS Android app, get it on F-Droid.
On PC, ~~there are two~~ Firefox plugin~~s, one to bring back "live bookmarks" (RSS feeds), and one to bring back the radio-waves-like icon in the address bar of sites with RSS feeds available. Let me check...~~
Edit: It's just one plugin, Livemarks. If you put the bookmark it creates into the bookmarks toolbar, then it becomes a drop-down menu of the headlines/RSS items. 👍
Thanks, I'm trying that
I use Thunderbird for RSS...however I should also admit I only have two things - xkcd and another comic that hasn't been posted in so long I think it might be dead.
What's the cost?
I downloaded Feedly and they want 8 bucks a month, which seems high considering they don't actually create the content. I'm all for paying developers but that's more than I pay fo other actual new sources
It's for the service. It's not a local rss reader, it works like email. Local/offline ones are usually cheap/free
