It had to happen. We used to call these blogrolls but in 2024 you have to dress it up and call in a social network.
Create lists of blogs you love, and follow lists created by others. You can even use lists to aggregate Mastodon feeds, newspapers, Reddit subreddits, podcasts - anything that has an RSS or Atom feed.

I have not registered or tried this yet. Points though to anyone doing things with RSS. Maybe this will be the gateway drug for RSS for the youngsters.

Sounds like Inoreader, which I'd have a hard time living without.
>Inoreader
This makes me think it might be worth trying out.
>try
Which? Inoreader?
I've been on it since Bill posted it in 2017 --maybe before that.

Still using the TM-ripped free version. I'm thinking the regular free version has likely been enshittified at least a bit.
>Which?
Trying BlogFlock. I had the free version of Inoreader, but they cut it back to just a few feeds so I gave it up.
I hope it takes off. It's unfortunate that blogs have become completely supplanted by publishing on some platform the person doesn't own.
Someone on the fitness forum I was on said that if I started a Substack, he'd be the first subscriber (this, by the way, was due to a longish few posts on AI that people here would find very ho-hum, maybe totally wrong). Anyway, the flattery aside, I wanted to ask, why a Substack? Why not a "a newsletter" or "a blog"?
I was going to ask him, but before I could someone posted something about Gaza, America's "satanic parasites," the impending end of the West, his hope for "pax Sinica" and lots more diatribe. That pretty much ended that thread. They are still figuring out how forums work and don't work over there. So I never did get to ask. It was an interesting thread until then...
RC - Just to clarify... the free version of InoReader doesn't allow filtering and such, but you use Tampermonkey to do the filtering client side?
I wouldn't be bothered by the 150 feed limit.
I'm still on Feedly despite limitations. My needs, generally, are really basic.
>you use Tampermonkey to do the filtering client side?
Yes.
And rip out page elements I don't like.
