RSS is great for following blogs and sites of specific interests, like local sites, or sites about specific subjects. You get ALL the updates. For example. I live in Baltimore and have a bunch of local sites in my RSS reader.
Reddit/Lemmy, on the other hand, is a more democratically human curated and upvoted aggregator so while it hits all the popular stuff beyond the topics you follow on RSS, it will miss a lot too.
So I use both.
Feedly for hundreds of sites of interest. And Reddit and now Lemmy for the rest.
Good stuff!
Good to see a fellow feedly user. I'm curious, have you subscribed for any of the premium feedly features and if so, would you say they are worth it?
no, been a freebie user since Google Readers died and honestly, for the way I use it, to pop on and scroll through the feed then clicking on some articles? I've never felt limited or like I needed to pay to do anything.
Same thing for me as well, I haven't felt limited by anything in the free version. It's great for things like hackernews and webcomics.
I am Feedly user as well, but use the FeedMe app on Android. I prefer that app over the Feedly one, it's free, and I can add as many categories as I want whereas Feedly limits it to three or so in the free version :)
Oh thanks for the tip. I'll give Feedme a try
