Changing the World for the better requires understanding it. We facilitate discovering international journalism from a transformative perspective.

I've been running this app for a few months, where I collect left and green news from various magazines, journals, parties, ngos, movements etc. I hope you find it useful. I would appreciate feedback on it too

    What RSS software do people use? I've never really gotten into it. Any open-source readers that are highly recommended?

      Emacs users tend to enjoy elfeed. TUI/CLI users tend to enjoy newsboat. Browser users tend to enjoy Tiny Tiny RSS or Miniflux.

      Gonna necro-post to mention readrops. It's a really nice android rss app. It's on fdroid and so forth and looks and works really well.

      I use FreshRSS. It's very easy to set up and I like the interface. TinyTinyRSS arguably has more functionality (being able to pull full text articles for example), but I don't like the interface as much and also the dev is a chud.

        You aren't able to run it locally right? I'm not sure yet if I want to be running a web server on my homelab

          Unfortunately not. For something local I'd suggest Feedbro (extension for Firefox and Chrome).

      for the record, I don't have a feed yet, but have thought of adding one too eventually

      I use newsboat, it is dope. QuiteRSS, Liferea, Newsflow etc are all decent too. On Android, Flym is great.

      I'm not comfortable using something like inoreader/feedly simply because I don't want data aggregators to have a record of my interests and activity. So local clients like the ones I mentioned, or self-hosting TTRSS or Miniflux if you have the infrastructure and inclination is the way to go.
