Can I dump my OPML into this, and you recommend me feeds based on what I'm already subscribed to?

I've been personal blogging since 2003, and I still do so, although a lot shorter form these days. Not everyone blogs just for SEO purposes, I couldn't care any less about SEO. In fact, I don't even pay attention to analytics.

OK well that was 2020. Maybe fast forward to 2021, and blogs are here again. Or still here, I guess that depends on how you see things. To me blogging never died, but then again I don't go around randomly surfing blogger either. You're likely to run into spam that way.

This is something epic! It would be nice if I could filter out images though, like I just want the links from my timeline.

I mainly subscribe to sites that don't have RSS via Twitter. Or sites that the generator couldn't create a feed from.

You mean you use Miniflux for that? which I do as well.

I use the RSS feed as a link stream anyway. I just open the links and I'm at the main site. If I want to post a comment, and nothing else stops me like CAPTCHA I'll do it.

I think it's been on an upswing for about a couple years now.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Using RSS to replace social media
Now I use rss.app for that.

I have a whole bunch of Subreddits in my RSS reader.

As far as I know state IDs are free. Well at least here they are anyway. They aren't drivers licenses though, you definitely can't drive with one.
You did have to go wait at the DMV, that was before Covid. I would hope they would've modernized the process now.

Yeah me too! I have my own instance. Well I have a service that set it up for me.

Miniflux is good, it's what I use. It isn't desktop based though, and it needs a server install.

Chrome doesn't actually support RSS anyway. There are extensions for it, but it doesn't actually support it.

It's definitely used by Youtube. Youtube has RSS feeds for all channels.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Built to Last – RSS, HTTP (2015)
A majority of the feeds I subscribe to are https these days.
hopesthoughts | 4 years ago | on: Built to Last – RSS, HTTP (2015)
Sure RSS was built to last, but I don't think The Old reader is or was.

Well I'm off to go join some quarantined subs.

Although you could use rss.app to filter the feeds as well.
