    I like the look of Liferea but QuiteRSS is more reliable---at least the versions I have tried.

    I recommend - QuiteRSS.

  • r/haskell will remain read-only
    I rely on RSS to follow posts to such sites. This one does not advertise an RSS feed in the page metadata, but one seems to be available at https://kbin.social/rss?magazine=haskell. This feed does not validate, but it works in my feed reader (QuiteRSS, which I switched to specifically because Thunderbird refused to parse invalid feeds that I wanted to follow).

  • Podcasts/RSS feeds privacy
    I use an offline feed reader (QuiteRSS on desktop and Feeder on Android, and both of them aren't synced) - so whatever tracking happens is due to the links themselves. On desktop I use Pure URL to strip tracking parameters from all links. Haven't found anything that actually works for Iceraven on Android. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • HELP! All I did was refresh my RSS feeds and YouTube thinks my IP Address is a bot. So now I can't RSS anymore.
    So this used to be a problem before and I "solved it" by reducing the Number of requests in QuiteRSS down to 2. But considering I had 1000s of channels that I keep track of, it became painfully slow. But it did "solve" the problem. So I stuck with it. Source: over 2 years ago

  • Switching Diary MacOS -> Linux (day5) The first big problem (fixed), RSS and TVs
    One of my favorite programs on mac was the RSS client (reeder), after some searching I found a better one on Mint . Liferea, not only is free and supports opml imports/exports (so you can import the reeder's config right away) but it also has a basic support for podcasts. Source: over 2 years ago
