Nice! I have tried Mastodon but keep getting sucked back into Twitter, hence the 30 minute daily limit. Perhaps I should give RSS a go as well. Can you recommend a reader?

I'm using https://www.newsboat.org , but not for any good reason: only because it came to hand when an HN discussion of a fork inspired me. That said, I've had no reason to look for anything better.

On an MBP, I'm using:

  browser "open %u"
  show-read-feeds no
  auto-reload yes
  reload-time 60
  macro m mark-feed-read ; quit ; reload-all
  macro k open ; goto-url 2 ; quit
for hourly polling; when I swap to its screen, I only ever consult 1 virtual feed:

  "query:Unread Articles:unread = \"yes\""
then use either 'o' or ',k' (for HN articles, to open comments) to load whatever looks interesting into tabs (in the browser on a different screen), then ',my' to mark all as read and re-poll.

cool, there's a brew formula and trying to run it tells me exactly what to do:

  Error: no URLs configured. Please fill the file ~/.newsboat/urls with RSS feed URLs or import an OPML file.
thanks for the tip, giving it a go!
