Anyone still using RSS feeds?


  👤 PaulHoule Accepted Answer ✓
Yes. I just debugged problems with our RSS feed at work. I have my own intelligent RSS reader called YOShInOn which learns my preferences.

I see bots trying to generate feeds in my access logs. Some of them are coded very poorly, ignore cache-controls, re-check articles every 30 seconds. So it would seem they are still used.

Yes. It's how I browse HN.

Rss for articles +25 points to Pushover onto my phone.


👤 JohnFen
Yes

👤 DamonHD
Yes

👤 leephillips
Every day. Who doesn’t?

👤 aebtebeten
How else could I find the interesting 1-3% of HN in a reasonable amount of time?

I have a low volume rss feed for my static-HTML articles, but I'm also using rss for the embedded mastodon feed on my website.

Yes, every day.

I do but I feel it's long overdue for replacement. I've been working on a new protocol that includes timestamp filtering, real-time notifications, and optional things like 'likes' and 'comments'. I use it everyday and I load it with content from RSS feeds. Not ready for sharesies yet though
