On the NetNewsWire blog — How to Subscribe to a Twitter List in NetNewsWire.
This works great. I’ve been using it since last summer and, as you might expect Twitter systems are not all the same. I’ve seen long delays in updates when you subscribe to a Twitter feed (a single account). Delays of up to 12 hours after the November exodus.
But twitter lists get updated much more timely.
Thank you @brentsimmons for NNW. It also made the transition to Mastodon seamless. I just swapped out people from a twitter list to a mastodon rss feed.
@brentsimmons great! I would have never figured that out. I remember the feature of being able to add your twitter feed while back so I tried it out yesterday really wanting a “list” and I just figured it wasn’t supported. Thank you!
@brentsimmons So is this feature going to get shutdown too along with all the other twitter apps? Or is NetNewsWire not using the Twitter API?
@wigging NetNewsWire is using the Twitter API, and it could get shut down, yes. But NetNewsWire is probably not on Twitter’s radar the way apps like Tweetbot and Twitterrific are.
@robinwit They removed RSS like 10 years ago. Or more. NetNewsWire is using the Twitter API, just like the apps that have been shut down. (But I’d bet that NetNewsWire is not on their radar at all.)
