Google Reader was supposed to be much more than a tool for nerds. But it never got the chance.

Check out Feedly - it's not Google Reader, but it's also not terrible either.

My nostalgia always tells me that GReader was better, but I'm using Feedly since and I'm happy with it.

Yeah, Feedly is great. Been using it for years and very happy with it.

It's kind of a bummer that RSS never took off the way it deserved. It is kind of a precursor to what we have now with Fediverse/ActivityPub.

Seriously, I've been preaching about RSS for decades. I subscribe to so many news feeds from sites all over the world. I always tell people how awesome it is to see 50 different spins on every news event that happens in the world. It gives me a real unique perspective on the world at large as opposed to getting my news from a few limited sources.

I try to self-host a lot of stuff these days, and have become a big fan of FreshRSS. VERY Google Reader-like.

Yeah if I ever lose Feedly, I'll likely have to go the same route
