I used to use flipboard, then once I got hooked on Reddit I got lazy and just started getting all my news from there.

Since this place is still getting its start thought I might go back to one to supplement me. Where you guys get your news?

RSS never fails me.

Same. Also using IFTTT and Pocket to automatically aggregate my own feed from sources I enjoy to curate my own feed to my Kobo reader.

Feels snazzy to read the news in e-ink so that my OLED work/play world and news world are separate.

And when, for some reason, there isn't an RSS feed given by the website, check RSS-Bridge and see if it has the site you want ;)

(and if it doesn't, if you know PHP, consider contributing with your own bridge)

Wow! I've been a heavy RSS user forever, and this is the first I've heard of RSS-Bridge -- thanks for this!

Just learned about it last week here on Kbin, because of the Reddit blackout.
I've been feeding a lot of sources to my RSS programs, and just found out a lot of sites either hide or don't have RSS, so that project was enticing.

So I contributed with 4 sources to help it grow ahahah

The decline (and perhaps fall) of reddit put me in the position of needing an Android RSS client/newsreader app for the first time. I want to say I used to use the functionality built into Firefox? Is that right? Anyway, for Android I've been using Inoreader. Seems to work ok. Mostly use it for the AP news RSS feed.
