Not the person you replied to, but I’ve been using RSS for a couple decades now to keep up on the news. Instead of following a blog or news outlet that reposts on social media, I just subscribe to the source (blog, news site, whatever) in my RSS app. People using Twitter and Facebook to follow things like CNN was always weird to me… that’s what RSS was built for.
Since a lot of those places likely aren’t on Mastodon yet, people are going back to RSS to fill the gap, which is great.
I guess by full, I mean like full-on. Like most of the content I relied on Reddit for, I could get from RSS feeds. I play Genshin Impact a lot, so I don’t need to visit that sub anymore now that I have an RSS. Also there’s replacement communities on Lemmy now.
Other then that, software or blogs you like, they usually have an RSS feed and then can group them under like a “Tech Blogs” category for example. It’s something you build up over time, and RSS has been around for a long time so most things support it and there’s a million clients out there.
Fun fact, every Lemmy community has an RSS feed to subscribe to as well, even Mastodon profiles! RSS feeds directly grab from the source, so there’s no centralized anything, so it’s probably the most sustainable method of getting method possible.
What do you mean by full RSS reader? What exactly are you looking at?
Thanks for your help

I love that I learn so much on here. Thanks for that explanation!

I’m curious, how do you use RSS to stay up to date with Genshin content? What kind of feeds do you follow?
