Thanks to Fijxu use of Anubis videos still can be watched on inv.nadeko.net. 🫡

I feel like because of the aggressive bot scraping that intensified not long ago will going to make it impossible to continue to use feed readers and the only way to interact with websites will going to be restricted to only be possible from web browsers.
Already opening up videos in mpv from my rss subscribed invidious feeds not working, it was my preferred way to watch videos. Just to clarify I'm aware that rss still works the only thing that doesn't is opening up video links directly with mpv or with any other video player that can do the same. And not only that but I fear at some point reading full articles inside an rss reader will not work forcing me to open article links in a web browser, even if some of feeds can fetch full articles minimizing the need to do so.

I'm not trying to minimize the impact of this scrapers that have on free and open source projects and on web admins who have to deal with this onslaught of bot activity, they are the ones who got it worst.

Hey, ich brauche mal Rat zu RSS-Readern #rssreaders
Ich habe sowas noch nie benutzt. Ich hatte Bundle als Nachrichten-App, aber Bundle scheißt natürlich auf Datenschutz, hat Werbung drin und liefert viel Schrott, ist fast nur noch eine Sammlung von Clickbaits, die zu Paywalls führen.

Also habe ich bei F-Droid nach einer Alternative gesucht und da ist alles voller RSS-Reader.
Aber leider hatte ich jetzt schon vier davon installiert und dann wieder deinstalliert.

Den ersten fand ich erstmal gut, denn es gab eine Auswahl von Feeds aus deutschsprachigen Nachrichtenmedien, aus denen ich wählen konnte. Das will ich. Ich habe null Bock drauf, alle URLs von Medien, die ich lesen will, selbst einzufügen und dabei die Hälfte von denen, die mich interessieren würden, zu vergessen.

Deinstalliert habe ich den Reader mit der schönen fertigen Feed-Liste, weil es keine Möglichkeit gab, sich Feeds mehrerer Medien gleichzeitig anzeigen zu lassen. Das müsste für mich aber drin sein. Gerade bei aktuellen Nachrichten möchte ich sehen, welche verschiedenen Medien wie darüber berichten. Dafür will ich nicht hin und her klicken müssen. Ich will eine Ansicht mit mehreren Feeds.

Ich weiß jetzt bei neu installierten RSS-Readern ohne Vorauswahl von Feeds nichtmal, ob die mir eine kombinierte Ansicht bieten würden, wenn ich mehrere Feeds abonniert habe. Dafür müsste ich mir ja zuerst die Arbeit machen, URL nach URL nach URL da einzufügen, bevor ich sehen kann, ob ich dann mehrere Feeds in einer Ansicht sehen kann.

Und weil ich null Bock habe, mich da einzeln durchzuprobieren, frage ich nach Empfehlungen.

Ich will auch möglichst keine Accounts anlegen müssen. Vor allem nicht für irgendwas, was mir dann doch nicht das liefert, was ich suche, was ich aber erst merke, wenn ich irgendwo einen nutzlosen Account angelegt habe.

I recently switched #RSSReaders from #TheOldReader to #Inoreader because I wanted more features. Their website isn't the greatest place to read feeds as far as #accessibility goes(I switched to their beta and am giving them some recommendations though, so hopefully that will change), so I'm looking for a good #Windows #app that will sync with Inoreader. I use #FieryFeeds on #iOS but I'm on my computer a lot, so I'd love a Windows app. Can anyone recommend one? I've tried several but they either didn't sync with it or accessibility was bad. Some of the ones I've tried are #FluentReader, #RavenReader, #QuiteRSS, #FeedDemon, #RSSGuard, #RSSOwlnix, and #MyReader. The last one is the only one that seemed to work with Inoreader but accessibility is pretty poor. If any others I mentioned work for you, how did you set it up? If you're using something else, what is it?

The more and more I see weird and irrelevant stuff on my Google feed on my phone, the more and more I consider finally going ahead and setting up #RSS and making my own #RSSfeed. Sounds crazy considering how much of a zoomer I am, but I've heard it's actually pretty useful!

I already have my own Nextcloud instance setup on my NAS, thankfully - now I just need to figure out what I'd like to add on that feed... 👀

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for #RSSreaders on Android and Linux (preferably #GNOME centric), or some other sort of advice, feel free to mention!

Can anyone recommend good #RSSReaders?

I would like to get in the habit of reading more #blogs but would rather not have my email full of newsletters that I'll forget to go back to read. I'd rather be able to keep everything collected in one spot I can then browse when I want.

I used to use #Feedly way back in the day. It seems like that's still the top option?

@shipp I agree, although I guess because I have tended to focus on #RSSReaders that don't have that functionality, it isn't as important to me.

I was becoming a fan of #Nuzzel back before #Twitter purchased it, and was interested in what was then still the emerging #TwitterBlue service because I thought that integration could offer a really compelling #SocialNews service in Twitter.

#Inoreader has this sort of functionality built into it although it is local to the Inoreader network.

Perhaps one day (soon 🙏 ) we will see a RSS Reader with #ActivityPub support to facilitate this sort of conversational news?
