Reddit’s what got me into RSS in the first place. Adding different subs to my reader let me go through posts on my own terms instead of relying on refreshing browser tabs. These days Reddit is dead to me because their feeds are rate-limited to the point where they’re unusable.

That’s why I switched to Lemmy doing more or less the same. Feeds organized into folders, filtered and tagged in my reader which I usually just check once a day.

I also self-host RSSHub to generate feeds for sites that don’t provide them.

Basically I treat my RSS reader as a web browser. I get everything web-related through it, only opening Firefox for quick searches or to find new feeds. It helps that I use Thunderbird as my RSS reader, so I get email and feeds all in the same place. I also have it configured to open links with different applications so I can open media links directly with yt-dlp, gallery-dl, etc…

RSS feeds instead of algorithms

I already download all my media so I have offline access.

I’m honestly sick of social media. I mainly just view it as a news source, only commenting on Reddit Lemmy threads because its convenient to do so.

How is #4 going to work if I use Linux on my primary devices?

I watch without an account and they’re definitely tracking my watch history regardless of that
