I’ve been interested as well for quite some time. I don’t know how to find websites. That old style of browsing was before my time.

Not to mention, who still actually maintains RSS feeds? To be fair idk if it’s really necessary.

I actually subscribe to YouTube feeds so that I don't have to ever log in. It's really nice.

But on top of that, just small websites that provide RSS. I change it up here and there.

In your experience, is RSS reliable enough to replace Reddit and Facebook as a news feed?

Yeah, I mean if you wanted, you can include reddit (and hacker news) in your RSS feed, so no need for replacement. That said, the entire point of RSS is to curate your own experience so just linking it to reddit (or hackernews) sorta defeats the purpose. I guess its nice to have both in one place.

As for Facebook, I haven't used it since 2008 when it became clear it was a cruddy company led by a misanthrope so I can't speak to that.

HN RSS does that for me very well.

I still keep Facebook to check on what are my friends been up to recently. But lately it only has part of that content.

Perhaps it is time for friend feed aggregator.
