I'd love to see some stats on reddit engagement now. Anecdotally, I logged in just to look at my usual subreddits (the ones that are open) and they seem dead.

[-] [email protected] 73 points 1 year ago

I use RSS to get feeds for subs that are not active in lemmy.

Many posts are dog shit level now. Either looking for help or just garbage.

Check out r/lemmino lol.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

Yep. I feel like all of the high-value like high-quality posters are now here or elsewhere and are done with reddit. I used to post a ton on reddit, even across multiple accounts. Now I just post here. lol

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh RSS feed is a good idea. The only sub I still check is r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks xd

Edit: Anyone knows a better free web-based RSS reader than Feedly? It kept sending me to its paid service for trying to sub to a Reddit feed, until I subbed to it via SiftRSS D:

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Ive been using FreshRSS for years. You can either selfhost it or use one of the public instances.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I'll check that one out too :)

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the "web based". Today I'm incredibly distracted.

Feeder is pretty good if you use Android.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No worries, but I'm a diehard PC user xd

I might end up going with an open-source desktop app in the end, both Fluent Reader and Raven Reader look good.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I self host FreshRSS & RSS-Bridge in Docker and view everything in Fluent Reader (Linux), FeedMe (Android), and Read You (Android). I absolutely love it!

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I tried out Fluent Reader (Windows) yesterday, but it was a bit buggy and lacked some necessary features, so I'm testing NewsBlur for now. The free version is kinda limited, but I love the training feature, and in general it feels the most user-friendly out of the 4-5 services/apps I tried yesterday.

A fellow leaks enjoyer, hi there! It's also the only community on Reddit I still check as well. Excited for Fontaine?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Sound like you two need to get on the sources and start a Lemmy community.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

I'd be terrible as a mod, but I might be up to preprare the posts when I hit my vacation in a few weeks.

Also, there's already a community, but with low traction right now.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the issue is that the whole sub is just screenshots and videos of leakers' Telegram, Discord and Twitter channels. I don't have free capacity for trawling through these kind of feeds, checking for reliability, etc. ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Same for me, with family and full-time work, but I can probably set up a bot during vacation to check for these sources. If I set it up to just check for stuff every two hours or so I don't think I'll hit any kind of rate limit.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

that sounds good!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'm moderately excited, looking forward to exploring the new landscape, but aside of Lyney, I don't particularly want to pull for any of the characters. (Maaaybe Wriothesley, depending on his personality and kit.)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I'll get Furina since collecting archons is a safe bet. Aside from her I'm still evaluating who I really want (possibly Arlechinno, Navia and Neuvillete).

I'm much more interested in the lore and hoping hoyo finally starts moving the celestia/abyss plot forward big time. It's about time we see some real big stuff to happen.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm looking forward to meeting Navia in-story, she seems nice, just not sure if pull-worthy nice. Otoh I really like geo characters, so if her kit is good, maybe :D I'd love another geo catalyst.

Re story: Yeah, tbh that plot arc is pretty much the only aspect of Genshin's story I find engaging. The rest is too juvenile for my taste ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'd really love her to be a Geo off-field DPS, but without her damage being tied to a construct like Albedo. I need more damage for my Noelle team ๐Ÿฅฒ

hosting freshrss locally and just tested that it can subscribe to reddit no problems (although I don't want to) - their cloud instances should work : https://www.freshrss.org/cloud-providers.html

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

thanks, I'll check it out! I'd probably go with one of their cloud instances, as self-hosting is a pain with my skill level.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I have been using CommaFeed for years. I'm not a huge fan of the most current design, but overall it works well.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

thanks, I'll check it out :)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's funny reading people suggesting RSS on here as a way to replace Reddit. Aaron Schwartz helped create both of them.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Huh, just looked him up, sad that he died so young :c

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I like theoldreader. It looks like Google's reader from way back when

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I use this app on Android to view my feeds that are on that site:

https://noinnion.com/greader/

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

looks nice, but I'm a PC user

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

If Lemmy supported images in it's RSS feeds I'd never leave my client.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Its open-source, so it wouldn't be impossible to add images. Probably pretty trivial actually. Might be a good first PR
