   A great way to follow RSS

   I was looking for something like this for quite some time. I've been using Fraidycat for about 2 months now. It's very simple and easy to use. I love the you can organize your feeds by simple "emoji" tags. Also, the idea of setting an importance/frequency level per feed is great.

   If only more websites had RSS feeds...

• Google helped destroy adoption of RSS feeds

  I went years without consuming RSS until I discovered Fraidy Cat[1] here at Hacker News. 1. https://fraidyc.at. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• How are you preparing for disinformation campaigns?

  There’s also an aggregator app called fraidycat that pulls content from multiple sources and does so without logging in, so you get a breadth of information and non-personalized results. Source: about 1 year ago

• Twitodon: Finding Twitter Peers on Mastodon

  You may be interested in Fraidycat. Per the description: > Fraidycat is a desktop app or browser extension for Firefox or Chrome. I use it to follow people (hundreds) on whatever platform they choose - Twitter, a blog, YouTube, even on a public TiddlyWiki. This doesn't solve the problem of discoverability, but it solves half of what you described. https://fraidyc.at/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
