       As part of my New Year cleanup I’ve completely revamped the way I was getting my news and finally centralised all my favourite sources in one good #RSS reader (including Mastodon tags).   So far it’s revolutionised my day by reducing distractions hugely. I tried a bunch but the best solution for me was Reeder 5, much appreciation to @rizzi.  (If someone knows a solid open source RSS reader that integrates really well across Apple devices please let me know!)

       @martin That's great :) I've been using RSS for ages and I think it's great.A couple of tips, if a website doesn't have an RSS feed you can use something like FetchRSS.com to generate it yourself. And you can also subscribe to any github repo/subfolder with the following url: `github.com/{user}/{repository}/commits/{branch}/{path-to-file-or-folder?}.atom`For example: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/commits/main/local/upgrade.txt.atom

       @noeldemartin I've been using it for a long time too (that's why there's native RSS for Moodle activities like forums!), but in recent years I drifted into checking feeds on lots of different systems every day - email/socials/YouTube/Mastodon etc.  From now on, I'm going to discipline myself with intentional feeds on one reader.Other useful tools:  openrss.org - they create and maintain feeds for lots of things that don't have them natively kill-the-newsletter.com - makes it easy to convert email newsletters into RSS

       @martin Nice, I forgot to mention kill-the-newsletter, but I use it too :D.Didn't know about openrss.org :)
