Does anyone have any tips on setting up RSS for twitter so it shows more content than what is just on the first page through the https://nitter.net/{{ twitter_account }}/rss method?

I've been using fritter but there's no longer a way to combine feeds from all accounts at once. And when it comes to setting up a regular RSS I run into the feed quantity limitation for each account.

I self host FreshRSS and among the many sites I subscribe to, I also subscribe to quite a few hashtags on Mastodon which I'm aware isn't highly publicised so not everyone knows you can do that.

If someone reads this comment that didn't know you could do that -

Instance/tags/hashtag.rss

Eg:

https://mastodon.social/tags/introduction.rss

You are welcome.

(Set your purge limits aggressively, because despite people suggesting otherwise, you will very quickly have thousands of unread articles to trawl through)

The fun thing is, I never left it. Even when people wanted to convince me that it was unusable, no sites used it or Google reader being killed meant there was no point anymore.

Flym works well enough.

ya but I dont want active control. I want passive control. I'm lazy. :(

I'm a big fan of feedly but the issue I run into is if I miss a few days it takes so long to sift through everything to find what I'm most interested in

I use snownews in Linux, and had just figured out how to subscribed to RSS feeds of Reddit subs a week and a half ago. Whoops.

I switched to feedbro, because the feeds started to fill with anxiety driven news. So i needed something with good filtering.

It's a browser plugin. Very modifiable, looks fine and behaves well. All that it misses is a way to sync to a service. Has manual backups for feeds and filter-rules.

Tip. It can handle youtube channels and twitter users feeds.

Ever since I started using Feedbin as an RSS client my internet life has gotten tlma better. Can be self hosted too.

I’ve been using Newsify on iOS for a few years now. It lets me organize and subscribe to rss feeds complete with saving/favoriting, marking read, etc.

I’ve found it a great way to keep up with news. I write an app and an aggregator site a while back that did a similar thing, but this is good enough and I don’t have to do any dev or hosting work!

I'm honestly tempted to start looking into RSS, I've never used it before but now without reddit it would be nice to have a centralized location to view absolutely everything relevant to my interests.

After using RSS feeds for a while on my phone, I switched to using them exclusively on my laptop. Having them on something not as easy to whip out as my phone makes me less inclined to compulsively check them.

For some reason, I could never get into RSS readers. I tried, but quickly felt overwhelmed and gave up. I've tried to get back into it over and over again, but always get just absolutely rocked by the amount of content that can be pulled in and get discouraged. It's also hard and daunting to think about getting into it at this point, now, because there's so much content out there that I don't even know where to start with adding RSS links of stuff I follow...because sometimes I don't even know where I get my stuff from (just from all over, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, email newsletters, kbin, Google News, etc.)
