Yes and I'd prefer it if more websites offered it as a way to read their content or at least subscribe to their blogs for updates.<p>Being able to set up alerts to match certain keywords allows me to more actively consume their media and tends towards me actually supporting the continuation of their site because I noticeably consume and care for their media because I know it is there.<p>A site without an RSS feed means I need to manually check the site for any updates. Which means I'll never check the site for actual updates. Which means I never consume their media and wouldn't even notice if they closed their doors and shut down.
Yes, with feedly. It was the closest thing to google reader I could find when it initially shut down. I like that it can figure out what the RSS feed address is even if you just give it a domain name, though the mobile app is kind of annoying.
Yes. After Google Reader's demise decided to invest some time and find a good self-hosted solution. Very pleased with Tiny Tiny RSS since then: <a href="https://tt-rss.org" rel="nofollow">https://tt-rss.org</a><p>It's free, has simple design, consumes few VPS resources, supports plugins. There apps for Android, iOS, WP. Requirements: a webserver, PHP, Mysql/Postgres.
I use feedly (<a href="http://feedly.com/" rel="nofollow">http://feedly.com/</a>) daily. My list of RSS feeds needs some curation, but I find it easier than going to the sites directly.
Yes, often even with HN.<p>I was a bit disappointed after Google decided to shutter Reader but with a little digging, I found Newsblur[1][2] to be a (better than really) replacement for Reader and am happily using / subscribing to new RSSs feeds daily.<p>I find it much easier to curate information / sites in one place and use HN / Reddit for discussion about said.<p>1. <a href="https://www.newsblur.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.newsblur.com/</a><p>2. <a href="https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur</a>
Yes. Originally via Google Reader, but had to move to Newsblur when Google Reader closed. I like the fact it downloads and remembers the feed contents until I've read them, well, to a limit.<p>I used to dislike missing items (FOMO) and Reader was great for that, but because Newsblur has a limit per site I've gotten used to it.
Absolutely! My only source of news/articles comes to me through RSS feeds that are sent as emails. lapafeed [1] running alongside a free Mailchimp and OpenShift instance takes care of the whole thing.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/oxplot/lapafeed" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/oxplot/lapafeed</a>
Yes! Best way to keep up with blogs and websites I like, especially ones that don't update very often, and avoid a lot of the cruft that can make the websites themselves hard to use.<p>Moved over to Feedly after Google Reader shut down and it's been fantastic.
Yea I use Newsflow which does a solid job of discovering RSS feeds on sites, easy to manage subscriptions, can star favorites, etc.<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/newsflow-the-no.1-news-ticker/id890805912?mt=12" rel="nofollow">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/newsflow-the-no.1-news-ticke...</a>
Yes. I use list view most of the time because it hides images and lets me see thousands of items as quickly as possible with a minimum of scrolling. I use feedly, but still miss Reader, which had some features that feedly is missing.
I have tried numerous times to get feed reading in my habit but I just stop reading it after few days.<p>Frankly, with Facebook, I can just like relevant pages of blogs / sites I want to follow and get curated news that is much easier to access.
Yup! Daily. FeedBin (service) and Unread (iOS) to follow infosec peeps, infosec company PR releases and a few security-focused subreddits.<p>The subreddits don't work so well via RSS. Shrug.
Absolutely key to my ongoing information ingestion process. <a href="http://www.inoreader.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.inoreader.com/</a> FTW<p>[edit] and I gladly pay a few $/yr to keep them going
I follow 100+ webcomics and a bunch of other news sites and blogs. Feedly is amazing, have been using it since long before google reader was shut down. Feedly, reddit and HN are my daily chores.
