Comment on Vulture rediscovers RSS to dull the pain of the modern web
Kichae@lemmy.ca 4 days agoIt’s really not that weird. Most people aren’t going to self-host… anything. A news magazine isn’t going to bother covering it, even if it is focused on tech news.

Not selfhosting but single device usage. I never understood offline readers, I got into rss with Google Reader (never forget), rss was always an online thing for me, like social media. Tried some desktop readers, but always as a sync client, not standalone. My reader journey was: Google reader -> Feedly -> TTRSS -> Freshrss

I always used offline reader because the feeds i subscribed to don’t have that many updates (most of them are currently webcomics updating 1-3 times a week) so i generally just check on it a few times a day and none of it is really urgent, so there is not really much point in expanding the time where i could check on it. Another factor might also be that i started using RSS with Firefoxes inbuilt reader (which they removed back in 2018) which didn’t sync across devices, so i was just used to it being like that.
