Same. Also using IFTTT and Pocket to automatically aggregate my own feed from sources I enjoy to curate my own feed to my Kobo reader.

Feels snazzy to read the news in e-ink so that my OLED work/play world and news world are separate.

And when, for some reason, there isn't an RSS feed given by the website, check RSS-Bridge and see if it has the site you want ;)

(and if it doesn't, if you know PHP, consider contributing with your own bridge)

The decline (and perhaps fall) of reddit put me in the position of needing an Android RSS client/newsreader app for the first time. I want to say I used to use the functionality built into Firefox? Is that right? Anyway, for Android I've been using Inoreader. Seems to work ok. Mostly use it for the AP news RSS feed.

I'll have a look at this ground.news, seems like it was founded by a Canadian.

I'm testing this: https://theconversation.com/

10 ways we are different

The Conversation is an independent source of news, analysis and expert opinion, written by academics and researchers, and delivered direct to the public.

We are a not-for-profit organisation serving the public good. We believe reliable information is the lifeblood of healthy democracy.

All our articles are written by academics and researchers. Authors work with professional journalists who help them share their knowledge, at a time when people need it and in a way that it can be easily understood.

We are committed to ethical journalism, with a strict Editorial Charter and codes of conduct. We are transparent: every author discloses their expertise, funding, and conflicts of interest.

We don’t hide our mistakes. Errors are corrected promptly and prominently to remove misinformation from the public record. All our content is free to read and republish under Creative Commons.

We actively disseminate our content to more than 22,000 sites worldwide. That gives our content a global reach of 42 million readers a month, and growing.

We are a global knowledge project, with staff based in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, US, Africa, Indonesia, France and Spain working with more than 148,000 specialist scholars and researchers.

We avoid conflicts of interest and funders have no say over editorial decisions.

We are funded by universities, research institutes and corporates, as well as foundations and reader donations.

We support a healthy media ecosystem by providing ideas and media-ready experts with a focus on solutions.

This looks great.

I've been using Mastodon (i follow the NYT, the Guardian, the Telegraph, Reuters, and some other news sources). I also look at link / forum sites like Hacker News. I've been trying out the following, too:

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I'd seen Ground News before, but I didn't think it was anything more than all the other news aggregators. Your description, however, has made me really interested!

Can you comment on the benefits of subscribing at the various levels versus the free tier?

News . Google is my main source of need since I already have a Gmail. I like how you can customize what you see by choosing to "see less" "not interested in these topics" and "hide from X source" it really helped curate what news I'm actually seeing and it updates quite frequently

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I just haven't been able to find anything else. Its what's been most accessible and reliable for me.

It's good, but my Pihole blocks a lot of the articles because most of the links use amp, meaning they are tracking everything you click through it. This is from a purley mobile\android perspective in my case, but I'm sure the desktop experience isn't far from it.

What was frustrating for me is they'd offer 20 Elon Musk articles daily, but now that they allow you to remove articles that match keywords, I've been much happier w/ my experience

When I deleted my Facebook account a good five years ago, I started using RSS to get my news. I also use Feedly. I like how the app looks, I still use the legacy one, as it's simple and I'm used to it.

My response as well. Both re inoreader and decidedly not Twitter.

What was your experience finding rss feeds for people you've been following on twitter? Do you have to look up everyone individually and hope they have a blog or site like that?

Yea I'm trying to get away from the political bias and echo chambering a singular news source gives you, but at same time like aggregators for being time efficient. That ground.news another person shouted out actually seems really interesting and to fit the bill. It gives you multiple viewpoints of each trending news story and labels what bias they are leaning.

I also use NewsBlur as my backend organizational tool and catelog, then the Unread app on ios as my frontend reader because it's so simple and nice to look at.
