For those that were #Artifact users I will share some alternatives in the meantime. This app is not prime time ready just yet but has HUGE potential. You can simply log in with your Mastodon account. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nuggets-news-conversation/id6462796101

There’s also the feeds & Fediverse app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/newsbite/id1478566472

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/perplexity-ask-anything/id1668000334 This is mostly for search but they’ve added a news like feature.

If you guys have any other suggestions please share

It’s too bad about Artifact shutting down. I jumped on that app as soon as it was publicly available last February and thought it had a lot of potential.

If anyone’s looking for a good FOSS RSS Reader for Mac and iOS I highly recommend NetNewsWire.

I’m trying to get back into using RSS but have noticed that all sites - for example tech news like The Verge - publish a shit ton of content daily nowadays.

How do you use these apps?

I added a few feeds and now have 300+ news every day that I need to sort through and 95% of them do not interest me. That was what was so great with Artifact, it did the sorting and learned my interests.

Are there separate curated feeds (similar to Artifact) to subscribe to or is it possible to filter by interest (keywords) in the RSS apps, like Netnewswire?

I don’t have time or the nerve scrolling through feeds with dozens or hundreds of posts a day, it’s a pretty awful user experience.

Some sites seem to have separate feeds for different themes but that’s also not very flexible.
