@tylerknowsnothing I didn’t like new Reeder as a replacement for my rss client — I’m still loving Reeder Classic for that. But new Reeder is awesome when dedicated just as my social media timeline (through Micro.blog).
I’ll have to look at that Surf thing (and Tapestry).
@jarrod @tylerknowsnothing it would be interesting to hear how you have “new” reeder set up; I’m back on Classic for RSS, can’t seem to vibe with the new one.
@mako @tylerknowsnothing Mine is easy. The one and only feed I have it loaded up with is my Timeline feed using @sod’s experimental feeds. With it, I can browse my timeline with position sync (🥳) and retain easy access to replying to posts. And whatever magic new Reeder does to natively pull in the rest of the conversation thread still works. @jsonbecker put me onto using RSS to read my M.b timeline, and this is the best experience yet.
@jarrod @tylerknowsnothing @sven @jsonbecker ah.. interesting.. I made the mistake of importing my opml (and without a good feed editing feature, has been a pain to clean up). Not a microblog user, need to rethink this app to see if it still fits for me.
Classic is still the king though. ;)
@mako Oh boy, I bet that has taken some work. I think for sources with huge volume — like with social media timelines — new Reeder can make sense. But for general RSS reading the idea of a stream fell flat for me. I prefer marking as read as I go.
@jarrod Click. Delete. Accept. (Times a few hundred ;))
Social timelines may make sense here. Or in Tapestry (which has a nice plugin system).
Reeder Classic is near perfect. Hoping it doesn’t fall by the wayside.
@mako I think for use as a classic RSS reader Reader Classic is better.
I started with a „clean“ New Reader. Made the fault to link my Masotodon account and some RSS feeds. Too much. Too noisy. Especially the boosts…
Most of the time I read only my M.b. feed (direct, not via RSS). More than enough…
@jarrod Yeah. I'm a classical feed reader user. I have a load of feeds I pull in from various sources and, as an Inbox Zero kinda guy, I like to know where I am with keeping up to date with new items. For anything I want to blog about I save it to Read Later and then revisit them to see if I really have anything say. I might just end up using Reeder Classic for years to come, depending on how Surf or Tapestry shake out. That new stream approach to reading is too nouveau for me.
@mako I concur. I did the same thing. Gave it a good go for two months, but just couldn't get into the swing of the new Reeder.
@mako The only thing it's missing is the ability mark items read using filters like anything a day old and keeping new stuff.
