I love RSS feeds. One thing I'd like to work better is for websites with comment sections. It would be cool if you could read the article and have the possibility of the comments to also show up. I know some websites have separate feeds for comments, but I never understood how to make that into a usable experience.

RSS is one of the things I have been using for ages. I setup all my favorite news sources and just browse it instead of going to any one website in particular. It works great and makes it so much easier.

I remember when everyone was killing RSS, hell Firefox even removed their built-in one, now people are waking up.

I use aggregators because I like commenting not just reading

[–] flameleaf@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I use RSS to aggregate my aggregators because I don't like my reading and commenting to be tied to a single platform

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Oh yeah? Well I use RSSS to aggregate my aggregate aggregators.

Fediverse integration into feed readers seems like next step for them. Not just a link to share an article, but integrated discussion using your preferred Lemmy or Mastodon or whatever server. It would have to discover threads since you are getting the actual link from RSS.

I mean there are already tons. Check out ibbit.at

Use your favorite Threadiverse application.

I started using NetNewsWire on iOS and it works great. Developer has been updating it constantly with all sorts of improvements and moving away from algorithms to my own personal list of RSS feeds has been a breath of fresh air

I use feeder in my phone the last 5 years. I shouldn't have dropped my personalised RSS feed 8 years ago.
