i like following you weirdos to your websites and then tossing them into my #rss reader. y'all type a lot of words and they're nice to read on my little kobo. i hope to get better at sending quality words into the world.

#fediverse #indieweb #posse

G'morning #FediFriends! Do any of you use #RSS readers? Any recommendations? I used to use #Netvibes, but that went belly up last year. Desktop or mobile or both, all suggestions welcome! #Tech #RSSReader cc: @jackyan

Anyone have a #newsreader recommendation? Must have good iOS apps and not be Feedly or Inoreader.

They’re both great apps but they’re chasing business customers with collaboration tools. I’m just one person who wants to organize my news feeds.

A read later feature that accepts external links would be welcome but not necessary. I don’t have a great read later solution right now.

#newsreaders #RSS

I have a big favor to ask.

If you have an rss feed please reply to this with your blog url and a few words on what it’s about

Testing the heck out of my calm rss reader and I want to sub and read your posts and discover some new friends!

#rss

A whole bunch of quick date format conversion muddling but I think I got to RSS in the end.

If you forgot how to retrieve dates from files in a git, this article also has that.

This article is basically a record of my live spelunking of RSS and dates. Next week I will pick some good bits out into new articles. This is my raw #commonLisp experience.

#programming #lisp #time #rss #dates #exploratory

Welcome advice and commentary. Will it work as RSS in the end?

Who would have thought working with #time would be frustrating

(defun UT-to-RFC882 (UT &aux (TZ 0))
(multiple-value-bind
(second minute hour date month year day)
(decode-universal-time UT TZ)
(format nil "~@{~?~^ ~}"
"~[Mon~;Tue~;Wed~;Thu~;Fri~;Sat~;Sun~]," `(,day)
"~2,'0d" `(,date)
"~[Jan~;Feb~;Mar~;Apr~;May~;Jun~;Jul~;Aug~;Sep~;Oct~;Nov~;Dec~]" `(,month)
"~d" `(,year)
"~@{~2,'0d~^:~}" `(,hour ,minute ,second)
"~[Z~]" `(,TZ))))

* #Fennec redesign
* #LibreCamera better support
* #Meshtastic comms freedom

I found https://openrss.org/guides/what-are-rss-feeds which suggests it's basically
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss>
<channel>
<title> .. </title>
<description> .. </description>
<item>
<title> .. </title>
<description> .. </description>
<pubDate></pubDate>
</item>
<item>
<title> .. </title>
<description> .. </description>
<pubDate></pubDate>
</item>
</channel>
</rss>

which seems trivial to generate. #rss
@mattof

Soo, taking the view that #RSS is just a specific xml file, which version of RSS am I meant to implement for https://screwlisp.small-web.org/ ? I had a look at https://toobnix.org/feeds/videos.xml?videoChannelId=6574 but to be honest I don't understand by eyeballing it what the header is saying or what xml tags
- per item and
- for the site
I am meant to minimally use.
#mastoquestions
@mattof

@aral I feel like I asked you before and just forgot, but was there an idiom for #smallweb #kitten #rss ? Or can I basically freeform how I serve it? Will you do something for https://kitten.small-web.org/course/ ?

Also, good/bad to hear how you rediscovered badminton in the new year.

Is anyone else completely exhausted by the "Suggested For You" era of the web?

I feel like 2025 broke something in my tolerance for algorithmic feeds. I caught myself scrolling my personal insta yesterday and realized I hadn't seen a post from an actual human friend in ten minutes. It was just engagement bait and AI-generated slop. Uggh!

Thinking about moving my web reading habits to RSS.

#RSS #indieweb #enshittification #privacy #noai #selfhosted #linux #sysadmin

I dive into news websites or blog source code to find an RSS link whenever I find an interesting site that isn't on #Mastodon.

Through #RSS and RSS Parrot I can pull them into the #Fediverse and subscribe to their feed right here.

Between cheers and chores, last week in #FDroid (LWIF) was live last year:

* #AFWall modernized
* more #FadCam performance
* #FLOSS device benchmarking
* #kitshn 2 for #Tandoor 2
* #NWS 2 redesign
* #ShotsStudio w/ #MaterialDesign
+ 11 new apps

Are you, really? Be sure to check out https://petrolette.space/ then 🙂

Tip of the day: Tired of missing out on the content you actually care about? 🥱 Add RSS feeds from blogs, news, YouTube, and podcasts in one organised, algorithm free place.

Some browsers are one-size-fits-all. We prefer made-to-measure. 🪡🤓

#Browser #Apps #Mail #Calendar #RSS #Feeds #App #Software

My #rss usage in #newsboat has been stymied lately by some sites sticking their feeds behind CDNs that browser-fingerprint to weed out bots. #feedaround rights this wrong, using #golang. https://github.com/alrs/feedaround

Yet another "surf" project, but this #golang library is pretty good at getting to #RSS feeds hidden behind a misconfigured CDN. https://github.com/enetx/surf

I've read a bit about putting #koreader on my #kobo but it works well enough that I haven't fussed with it. plus I don't want to lose the wonky #overdrive integration while it exists.

I gave up on pocket a while back but it looks like they support #instapaper now. I kinda want to try that out. I also need to sort my #rss feeds... it'd be nice to have a feed to kobo pipeline.

#ebooks #ereader #books

I have 161 blog posts to catch up with, according to my #RSS reader.

Everyone in my feed is a quality #blogger so I don't want to miss anything. I'll be back later 😁

G'night

Does @powRSS have an #rss that one can subscribe to get the daily list or random blog via #rssfeedreader . I didn't immediately see one.
