   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

  Google Reader was the only web-based solution I managed to use for reading feeds. I tried several others and ended up purchasing Reeder, which supports not only RSS and Atom but also other sources like Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit. https://reederapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• First-Gen Social Media Users Have Nowhere to Go

  I see this all the time and while at the time I thought the same there's so many good alternatives these days, even better than back then. All the interesting and small websites I want to follow still have RSS feeds so I feel like we can move on. The two I use for many years already are: - https://miniflux.app (OS, Minimal, web interface and can be used with all clients that support Fever or Google Reader API) -... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months 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 / 11 months ago

• In your opinion, what is the best subscription (recurring) purchase Mac App?

  I use Reeder and NetNewsWire to read my subscriptions. You can see the full list of apps that work with Feedbin here. Source: almost 1 year ago

• I need RSS Reader app working on Mac and Iphone

  NetNewsWire - While there are certainly apps that look better in terms of the UI, this is probably the most you'll be able to get completely free. If you're willing to pay, I've heard Reeder 5 is pretty good as well, and it looks much more more modern and minimal based on what I've seen. Source: about 1 year ago

• 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 / 2 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

• Ask HN: What is your must have browser extension?

  I'm a big fan of FraidyCat for following RSS feeds: https://fraidyc.at/ I also include uBlockOrigin and 1password. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Show HN: I built a possible alternative to social media RSS

  Seems like what https://fraidyc.at/ does already. - Source: Hacker News / over 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
