What is Reddit's opinion of Reeder ?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I use Reeder for news and blog feeds, but it also supports saving articles (either from a feed or by URL) to read later. But I can hardly keep up with my feeds as is, so I rarely get around to what I’ve saved. 😬

Have a look to Reeder, it's for both MacOs and Ios. I'm using it with a Feedly account and I could not live without!

Now the new version 4 is out, I'm still on the 3 and I don't see any need to upgrade!

While I do not use TinyTinyRSS, it works the same as it's alternative, Miniflux, which I use. I use these RSS aggregators as my personal news hub. Instead of going to Reddit, a mainstream news site, etc. to consume the news, my server pulls the RSS feeds from websites I care about. When you pull a copy of the article you don't read it on the actual site, which means no ads, popups, or tracking! To read on mobile I use Reeder iOS app to have a nice experience LINK

For some personal use cases, in my feed right now I have:

- (Blog) Feeding the Cloud - A cool technical blog about networking projects. The author post very rarely, so by using mainflux is will pull a copy of any new post into my server where I can see in my "Unread" feed. It's a great way to keep up to date with all my fav bloggers in one spot.

- (Gov Institution) CDC - With ongoing coronavirus outbreak happening now, I was curious to see/read the content that is coming out of the American institution responsible for analyzing and containing the outbreak. It's a bit too complicated to follow so I might not follow them for much longer, but I like having that direct option, where I get headlines directly from an institution.

- (Social Media) Reddit - Reddit has instructions on how you can make an RSS feed that pull posts only from specific users. I use that to follow a bot user on reddit that posts daily Calvin and Hobbes comics. Those posts show up in my private feed and help me avoid reddit in general. I do similar arrangements with Youtube channels that I really enjoy but want to avoid watching on the platform to avoid getting distracted by other content.

If have any questions feel free to ask.

Edit: I wrote Mainflux, should be Miniflux

Does anyone here follow hiphop blogs? I'm not talking about like Pitchfork or XXL or any of those big sites, I'm more asking for individuals or smaller teams of people who write on their own sites about the genre and write reviews and release updates and shit, like Passion of the Weiss.

I'm trying to get more subscriptions in my RSS reader and can't for the life of me think of any good smaller blogs. RSS is so dope still too, I'd highly recommend to anyone who hasn't used it before and doesn't know how powerful such a simple service could be.

I use Feedbin as my feed service and read articles with Reeder on my MacBook and iPhone. Feedbin is dope because it lets you set up "actions" that can automatically sort articles based on keywords or whatever you really wanna do to them based on set criteria, and it also lets you subscribe to Twitter users straight through RSS. Another cool thing about it is it fetches full articles instead of those shitty ones where it has a little paragraph then says "Continue reading on example.com" which defeats the purpose of even using RSS.

Reeder is fucking amazing too, the app is so clean and works so well. Been using it for years on and off and have tried like 10 other feed reader apps but have always come back to Reeder. It's just so sleek and syncs effortlessly across my devices, really good shit

I’ve been using RSS for at least a decade now. I tried using Apple News but I generally dislike services that try to predict what might be interesting to me based on some engagement model. My most active feeds (like Vox or The Verge) might have 50+ posts in a day, but it’s nothing to quickly mark as read what doesn’t appeal to me from the headline. I also follow link aggregation blogs that fill in the gap of recommendation, e.g. “you should read this.” Although I’m a subscriber to NYT, any article I read there will come from one of those blogs, a friend, or one of the several newsletters they have.

Anyways, I’ve been using the excellent Reeder app for several years and recommend it. I used to pay for a service like Feedbin to sync feeds across devices, but the latest version of Reeder uses iCloud to do this and works totally fine.

Downsides, I guess: - Legwork required to setup/find feeds. Not every website makes them easy to find, though generally you can throw the root URL into Reeder and it ‘ll find something. - Some sites have multiple feeds; I’m not sure if Apple News does anything to aggregate these together or if there is some different technology at play. - It can be burdensome to “Inbox Zero” the feeds. Sometimes I’d rather read something a day or two late, like opinion pieces or investigative journalism that is not “breaking,” so I value items sticking around until I clear them. But sometimes things can pile up. Some people might prefer the aggregator’s approach of just showing the latest stuff. Though it’s easy enough to mark everything read after you get to a certain point.

Use it as a general purpose macropad with different layers set up for different apps/uses. Currently:

• Navigation: Scroll up/down, app switcher, tab switcher, arrow keys.
• Reeder: Shortcuts for Reeder, my RSS reader.
• Media: Media/Volume controls.
• Lightroom: 3 layers for Organizing, Culling, and Editing photos.

Perhaps Reeder is syncing too infrequently. Try any online feed reader (which will fetch feed by itself between Reeder syncs) that Reeder could sync.

Or wait a bit. From Reeder FAQ (https://reederapp.com): "Q. Refresh in background doesn't seem to be working. A. It takes a while for iOS to let new applications refresh in background. This can take up to a couple of days."
