Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?

duviobaz@lemmy.world to Technology@lemmy.world – 608 points –

According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.

EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.

RSS never died though, I have at least 50 web sites that I follow.

What are some feeds you all follow? I've always been interested in the concept of RSS feeds but I'm not sure where to start for finding feeds that interest me.

Ars Technica, BBC and Reuters are big enough that you may find a channel of your liking, that was my starting point.

What are your interests?

Thanks for replying. Tech, Linux, selfhosting, FOSS, motorcycles, mechanical work, home improvement, tools, shop type things.

The OPML I have on my phone is not as complete as the one on my PC, let me get back at you when I can and I'll share some feeds for tech, Linux and FOSS.

you can use it to subscribe to youtube, odysee, peertube, podcasts, without an account. i use feedbro to get the youtube rss easy but lately i use freetube.

Damn straight. Feedbin for me.

It has gotten less useful over time as content went elsewhere, but also I’ve been lazy about moving Substack feeds over.

I think they mean get popular again, see more robust support and integration, etc.
