I regret that I stopped using RSS after Google Reader died. Moving my news feeds to Twitter and Reddit was a big mistake.
Long live RSS!
- You can still come back!
  
  I have and it’s great, using NetNewsWire and Feedly for the time being until I’ve got something self-hosted setup.
- Yes I am in the same boat, but recently resurrected my RSS collection with FreshRSS, the self-hosted application for RSS aggregation. Has many mobile applications, browser-addons etc. Only thing missing is my vast organized collection of websites.

Is this also possible for Lemmy? Would be nice to get Lemmy community posts3in RSS feeds
- Feed for this Community is https://lemmy.ml/feeds/c/fediverse.xml?sort=Active you can change the sort to suit you.
