First off, if you haven't already checked it out, go look at Aaron Moman's ( ~admoman http://tilde.club/~admoman/) Tilde Club RSS feed. It's a feed of everything that has been updated on Tilde Club as it happens, and it's available at this URL:
http://tilde.club/~admoman/feed/tilde.club.atom
As I was reading all the responses coming in last night, I realized, I want a list of RSS feeds. I want to have a Tilde Club folder in my RSS reader with all your blogs. I tried to follow links as people were mentioning them, looking some folks up through google and what not and I realized, well, I could just ask.
I know, I know, we haven't updated our blogs in the past 10 years. This is okay. Because the beauty of RSS is that it's there, waiting for you, when you are ready to post again.
So I made a google form: https://forms.gle/W3hTGU4ksUE6ExjE7
Go fill out the google form. Put in your RSS feed, wherever you think your "main feed" is. If you have more than one feed, put the extra feeds in the "extra feeds" question.
After a day or two, I'll take your responses and make an OPML file, suitable for importing into your favorite RSS reader.
In the meantime, in this email thread, post your favorite RSS tips and tricks and whatnot. I'll go first. On linux, I like Liferea, on Mac, I like the newly rebooted Net News Wire. On Windows 10 I have not found anything I like. Anyone using an RSS reader on Windows 10 that they like?
Thanks!

I love this idea! I'll add my blog feed there.
For my reading, I am hosting an instance of https://tt-rss.org/ . I've been using it ever since Google Reader passed away. *shakes fist at the destruction that caused*

i just recently got into using RSS after the Devastating Blow of Google Reader's murder. i decided to self-host https://miniflux.net/ on my server. it was quite nice (until my server crashed for reasons unknown, i have to look at what happened to the postgres tables for miniflux now and i just haven't bothered yet)
server woes or no, i love rss

big fan of miniflux as well, have not had any server crashes and in the absence of those it's been pretty bomb-proof for me [image: 👍]

I have a Theory that nearly everything bad about the contemporary internet can be traced to the demise of Google Reader. RSS is grassroots and open, so it encourages everyone to create and encourages everyone to consume that content in the way that works best for them. There are fewer gatekeepers for what you put out into the world, but the corollary is that everyone else can curate what they want to receive. Without that ethos, the production and distribution of content is increasingly corporatized, making the internet ever more like broadcast TV. And the consolidation of the platforms to host and distribute that content means that curation is increasingly in the hands of the companies, who apply global policy standards (RIP Tumblr porn!) and don't invest in user-controlled filters (cough Twitter cough). Even that last bastion of open distribution, podcasting, is feeling the pinch https://podnews.net/article/bbc-blocks-google.

I still regularly read a handful of feeds in RSS. I use Feedbin https://feedbin.com, which is a paid service that has an exceedingly nice web-based reader. Many of Google Reader’s shortcuts still work there, which is a pleasant muscle memory to recall.
Feedbin also syncs with a ton of other apps and has a pretty good API, so once you’re set up on Feedbin it’s easy to try other clients. I mostly read feeds on my iPhone using Unread https://www.goldenhillsoftware.com/unread/, which is also really nice!
co-signing Feedbin! I really like that it offers a secret email address that you can put into email newsletter signup forms and it treats them as if they were any of your RSS-based subscriptions. Very handy.

As usual when this comes up, I'll plug NewsBlur:
Very small shop, initially crowdfunded, code's open: https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur
Not in every way my ideal of a feedreader, but it's worked well for me the last n years and the author (a friend of a friend and an old customer from my SparkFun days) has been generally responsive. I happily pay the yearly 35 bucks or whatever it is.

This is great - feeds of Real Web Sites from Real People is still a thing I can get behind. Looking forward to the OPML file.
The RSS discoverability problem bugs me, even though it has long since been "solved" by social networks. But what is tilde.club other than a re-contextualization of the problems and solutions we left behind, as a reminder that what we needed was in POSIX all along?
Anyway, I decided to try and make a fake standard of "feeds.txt" -- https://trenchant.org/daily/2018/8/16/
~andre is using it so now it's a de facto standard. http://torrez.org/feeds-txt.html
I also decided to try and make a bunch of software related to it but didn't. But tilde.club folks are a highly targeted demographic that might care about this sort of thing
(I also wrote a self-hosted RSS reader that nobody uses, https://github.com/adammathes/neko)
Erin: I agree with your RSS assessment. I always thought that Twitter's other success (besides being a central location) was because it was "Casual RSS": Don't need a title, don't need a picture, can be what you want. I was amazed at how those requirements for content creators would cause a lot of friction when training faculty & staff in RSS' power years.
Adam:

I think this needs to be a shirt or sticker.

What a great idea! I've added the feed to my weblog, which might encourage me to actually post something - for the past, er, 18 years I've been doing occasional flurries of posts, then forgetting to update for months at a time.
I'm taking the new NetNewsWire for a spin as well, and have finally ditched the OMPL file I exported from Google Reader full of dead weblogs, so it'll be good to get some fresh ones to read. (Though I see quite a few familiar names on the tilde.club user list!)
I also use newsboat - newsboat.org - a new-ish fork of newsbeuter, which is a bit like mutt for RSS/Atom, I suppose. Great for quickly going through frequently updated feeds with lots of posts.
Cheers,
