What is Reddit's opinion of Feedbro?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I use Feedbro and RSS feeds to scroll here and the news etc. + Infosec / Sysadmin twitter.

Here's my current Feedbro feeds if you need a starting point: https://github.com/MosJef/FeedbroSub/blob/main/feedbro-subscriptions-20210601-103055.opml

The problem is that Facebook really doesn't want you to access their content in an unsanctioned way (i.e. in a way they can't track you).

So the API is heavily restricted meaning that a developer can't offer this to large amount of people before getting rate limited, leaving just low volume, paid services.

Those that skip the API and just use web scraping get captcha'd to death after a certain threshold, again precluding wide use unless they also spend a lot of effort getting new, unthrottled IPs.

So you have to run the scraper yourself: RSS-Bridge https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

Or use Feedbro: https://nodetics.com/feedbro/ - an RSS reader that runs as a browser extension (for Firefox, Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers) that also supports displaying Facebook pages like RSS feeds. This one doesn't give you an RSS link you can use in other readers, but if you don't have the knowledge to use RSS-Bridge (which does exactly what you're asking for) at least it's something.

Hey there I'm really late but have you considered using a browser rss feed? I personally use Feedbro, which I find really easy to use c: You get desktop notifications if you set it up right, too.

It has the ability to sort things, group them into folders, assign them tags and check how long ago a feed updated. Not only that but I find it much easier to navigate (and preview) feeds. [x]

Feedbro can natively read RSS/Atom/RDF feeds, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Bitchute, VK, Telegram, LinkedIn, Yammer, Slideshare, Pinterest etc.

Just install Feedbro and use "Find Feeds in Current Tab" WebExtension popup action to subscribe when you are on a page you'd like to monitor (note: not all web pages can be monitored).

Thanks. That's not a cloud reader, it runs inside your browser. If you're ok with that reportedly Feedbro is a good choice, although I don't understand the business model of Nodetics.

Personally I really like Feedbro. It's simplistic in design which is nice and it automatically detects feeds. For subreddits you need to append .rss to the end of urls but it works really well. You don't even need to inspect element on youtube.

I've used this feed reader for years and I think the only complaint I have is that there isn't good documentation explaining the different conditions and how to use them.

https://nodetics.com/feedbro - when adding the feed, adjust the "Feed entry content" setting to for example: "Get full article body with main image".

Then Feedbro will automatically fetch full-text articles for the feed entries (in case feed provides only short summaries). Disclaimer: doesn't work on all sites but it does work on most sites.

You could install Feedbro in your browser(Chrome / Vivaldi / Firefox) and then use rules to follow your keywords.

Using Rules does involve a learning process; I've just started experimenting with them.

So here's an issue that's probably important to think about. When you're on Reddit in a web browser, if you get a new chat, a new private message, a new reply to a post or comment you wrote, or a new modmail, indicators on the screen will light up to tell you. What's missing from that? Something new in the modqueue.

If you're running the official Reddit app on your "smart" device, you can configure notifications for a lot of things, including again new chats, private messages, replies, and so on. But this time, as far as I can tell, no notification for new mod mail, and still no notification for modqueue items.

This is, of course, a terrible oversight on behalf of the Reddit developers. Though also, what about when you aren't looking at Reddit in your browser?

After three years of being a moderator, I finally decided to look for answer to this, and it turns out there's a very old but simple and effect one. In the old Reddit preferences menu, there is a list of RSS feeds. ( https://old.reddit.com/prefs/feeds/ ) There are plenty to chose from, but the key ones here are "your moderator inbox" (available in both "everything" and "unread" varieties, though it seems like the "unread" is good enough to catch new stuff as it comes in, even if another moderator archives it right away, which is great) and "moderator listings - modqueue".

Then all you have to do is have an RSS reader installed, and there are plenty to choose from as both smart device apps and browser plug-ins. (I'm using Feedbro in my browser for this.) I literally just set this up for myself earlier tonight and it's been amazing so far.

In addition to RSS, Atom and RDF feeds, Feedbro supports aggregating content from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, VK, Yammer, YouTube Channels, YouTube Search, LinkedIn Groups, LinkedIn Job Search, Bitchute, Vimeo, Flickr, Pinterest, Google+, SlideShare Search and Reddit.

Not sure it's exactly what you want but I use Feedbro in Firefox and it has an option to limit the amount of items it saves from each feed, but it's a predefined number from a list (1, 5, 10...). Maybe other addons have a similar function with a customizable amount.

Or you could just create an account, follow all of them and subscribe to a personal RSS feed of those follows (on the follows page) so you'll get notified of new releases. When you follow more, it'll get added to the feed. I recommend FeedBro for subscribing to RSS feeds.

If it notifies you of releases in all languages, go into your MangaDex account settings and filter for your preferred languages.

So far Inoreader isn't forcing me to remove feeds so I kept my account and installed Feedbro for new feeds: https://nodetics.com/feedbro/

Of course, using two readers is less then optimal, but it's something I can live with.

You're asking for a lot. I don't think there are any readers that have all of that.

But here's one that has some of those features: Feedbro for Chrome or Firefox & homepage with features list.

>I've used and liked both Omea and RSSOwl, but as neither is maintained and both have "dealbreaker" problems, I'm in need of another reader.

• It's actively maintained. Latest release was on Jan 20 this year.

>OS: Win10 or Linux

• Since it's a browser extension it runs wherever Firefox or desktop Chrome can.

>Free

• It's free

>Ability to group feeds into folders & subfolders

• Has the ability to group feeds into folders.
  Doesn't support nested folders but you can work around that by naming folders News\Tech, News\Space, etc.

>And the key feature Omea has which I haven't found in other readers is the ability to define "views" which are basically saved searches (RSSOwl did this quite well also)

• Has saved searches - but only keyword/regex search/exclude by creating a rule to automatically assign a tag and then browsing that tag.

> for which I'd need to be able to filter by read status, date range, feed name, and folder/subfolder.

• You can toggle between read/unread and sort by new/old/points, but not the other options.

>Ability to sort on the fly by feed name or date (within folders, subfolders, and views)

• Can sort by new, old, and points. But not by feed.
