• Hi everyone, I’m new to comics and would like suggestions on where to read digitally if you wouldn’t mind

  For sure there's the big 2 subscription services, but there's also a lot of good indie comics(for free & paid) on globalcomix. There's a wider variety of stories than just cape stuff, but there are plenty of those too (including mine). Source: about 1 year ago

• The next Comxiology?

  That's largely what Global Comix is. The confusing thing, though, is that it used to be clear that they had an unlimited membership program (similar to Comixology Unlimited) on their main page, which I thought was their main model for reading, but now I don't seem to see that unless I bring up a comic listing that requires payment to purchase. There's an option to join an unlimited reading program at that point,... Source: over 1 year ago

• Thoughts on Canvas Week?

  Hey! I recently learned about https://comicfury.com/, so I'm thinking about moving there. Also https://globalcomix.com/ seems to be way kinder to non-romance comics. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any comic subscription services available in the uk?

  Global Comix is probably the closest alternative to Comixology Unlimited and is an entirely subscription model. It started picking up steam after the Comixology mess-up last year, but it still doesn't have many big name publishers involved (Top Cow, Heavy Metal, Humanoids, and Valiant are some of the more well known ones).

• After more than 20 years, I published my first dirty project

  I also use it for its Popular Bookmarks - I subscribed to its RSS feed in NewsBlur and always have something interesting to read when my other feeds are Empty (they rarely are). - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Killed by Google

  There's a bunch of replacements. I like https://newsblur.com but there are 4-6 large-ish similar sites. That said, partially what people miss is the relative cultural hegemony of Google Reader. It was RSS front-and-center, prominently featured on websites, supported by the biggest company in tech, with all the users there and able to take advantage of the (sparse) social features. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit

  Https://newsblur.com/ I think this might be pretty close to what you're looking for. It's an RSS feed reader with a platform for discussions. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• With Reddit sunsetting, I'm looking back to RSS. What are the best current tools?

  Currently I'm on Newsblur. But it's really convoluted to Self host - to my "shame" I use their cloud hosted app with premium. It's (over)laden with features that I actually use and cheaper than for example Feedly. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What other news feeds do you read besides Hacker News?

  I start every day with RSS subscriptions using NewsBlur (https://newsblur.com) and Reeder (https://reederapp.com). I've also set up a page so other people can see my subscriptions / what I'm reading: https://sources.werd.io. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
