Advertising RSS feeds is also a good way to reach back and replace substack. People have forgotten them but they still work just as much as before. I've dug up Reeder that is still kicking after all these years.

I'm a huge fan of RSS, it's how I get 90% of my media now.
-
finding this post through my selfhosted freshrss server :). absolute game changer both for convenience and managment of everything.
-
I even use RSS to get notified in niche lemmy communities I'm trying to nurture.

I just wrote my academic library a note saying they should add this to their awesome blogs

RSS is dead tech.
-
How is it dead tech if everything still works, apps are still being made and websites still publish feeds? Literally every Substack and such has an rss it's so easy that most websites have it without knowing and don't link it but it works anyway
-
Considering it's shipped by default on the fedi, on ghost, discourse, bsky and loads of other very hot upcoming and established tools, it's very much alive. Just because xitter and facebook and google failed to find a way to monetize it and therefore tried to kill it doesn't make it dead.

Excuse me for being a bad techie, but.... Wtf is rss? I've been around since before dsl, and rss has never been something I've researched or understood.
I get that it's a feed, i think? Is it like a file that is a subscription protocol?
-
It stands for "Really Simple Syndication" (I think).
Its a standard for sending updates to a website, but its most commonly used to aggregate stuff like posts and articles.
-
I think of it as the internet coming to you rather than you going to it.
You subscribe to updates on a website and it intelligently pulls new content/articles. Its pretty neat! Lots of clients such as Outlook/Thunderbird have built in rss support and lots of websites provide them.
Here is one such software Tiny Tiny RSS that I self host (but most dont self host from what I understand).

My RSS feeds outnumber my newsletters like 40 to 1. It's an incredibly lively and convenient way to syndicate updates of any kind.
