Y'all remember that Mastodon tool I was telling you about yesterday, to monitor hashtags?
I found it very useful but I made it two years ago when I knew a lot less and that code was CRUSTY.
So I spent the day doing an overhaul and now it's got a nice settings panel so you don't have to muck about in the code. It's also better at feed display.
I'll update GitHub tomorrow but I'm also going to put it up as a web app so you don't have to download anything.
Ho passato tutto il giorno per rimuovere la ricerca fulltext "client-side" dal mio sito e metterla "server-side". I motivi sono diversi...
My local funeral home changed its web hosting platform for a corporate funeral industry stock hosting platform, and it doesn't have an #RSS feed because corporate funeral home service industry provider wants you to visit the website to hawk its merchandising—flowers, caskets, trinkets, hardcopy guest books, etc, all the things they get a commission on.
I read the whitepaper for sales and marketing from the big corporate funeral service provider that says just that. It read that merchandising makes up 60% of the profit that a funeral home gets on an annual basis.
RSS kept me in the loop. I still visited the obits and left condolences and saw their merchandise.
@MsDropbear42 Update; happy one, i think.
Have been using Feedbro for years [with many excursions of various duration to test other #RSS AddOns], but recently my wunderlust returned [F has been doing some randomly irritating weirdarsenesses occasionally, like for many minutes after launching 
Nightly, simply ignoring my clicks on its toolbar icon's dropdown list of new feeds, & its native links even to open its UI... plus, there's still my long-term discomfort with aspects of its UI's ergonomics & aesthetics... and ofc that shitty name].
a few nights ago i installed one i'd not seen before, RSS Sage-Like by arielg. It has a minimal UI [which opens in the FF sidebar] that is ok albeit lacks some important config options though having some others that are nice. It is like Brief & Livemarks in that it relies on the actual parent websites to stream the feeds... which i am now fine with despite my original aversion to this style. Its two big weaknesses though, which have driven me from it now, are that its icon does not indicate new feeds, so one must constantly manually check... & that it #necrofetches like a bastard, sigh.
two nights ago i installed Brief again [i've had many dalliances with it over recent year/s], even though it's not been updated for 9 months, so logically should still have the same flaws i noted last time/s. However i wanted to assess if i might be able to tolerate them any better, this time. Thank goodness i did, coz i discovered a setting [per-feed, unfortunately, not global] i'd either not seen before or else not understood... "Don't mark changed items back as unread". This is fantastic, as now having tediously gone thru every feed's Properties ["Feed Settings" in the context menu] & ticked it, the #necrofetching problem seems to be quashed! IF this misbehaviour is now defeated, the only remaining issue will be... can i tolerate its "major compatibility problem with Guardian Australia mp3 podcasts"?

Celebrando el medio RSS, y la ruptura con las redes sociales, con el Club RSS
El Club RSS es una manera de llamar la atención sobre la existencia del medio #RSS y romper con las redes sociales.
Spent four days in Copenhagen. Turns out the internet didn't stop producing things I feel I need to read just because I looked in another direction. #readitlater #rss
You can follow blogs, news and YouTube creators with a built-in feed reader. It’s like RSS never left. (Because it didn’t.) 
If you’re really curious, go to the all posts section of your RSS reader and then change the ordering from what it is now to oldest to latest. Browse the older content of some of your RSS feeds. I know you’ll find a couple hidden gems. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past day and it’s really Interesting! Some of my feeds go all the way back to 1996. It’s like the most accessible time machine ever! #RSS
It’s taken me a few tries to get into @Iconfactory’s Tapestry app, but I am quite enjoying it now. The gang on @TWiT love it so I thought I’d give it another go. Previously, I’d thought of it as a Mastodon/Bluesky combined app. Which it is… but it’s also more than that. It’s a bit more similar to @feeeed or Reeder, as you can add just about any feed you want to it. After a bit of setup, it becomes quite powerful.

Apparently @themainemonitor.bsky.social hasn't posted on #Bluesky in a month or so. I wish they'd resume but at least they have a good #rss feed.
#Mastodon isn't an alternative to #Twitter, it's an alternative to #RSS.
A user can't really know beforehand if what they are writing is even seen.
In this example, it may even hurt a business.

Monitoring Protest Hashtags With VibesMasto
Can't go to the protests today but you still want to know what's going on? Check out this tool I made to monitor hashtags at the larger Mastodon instances and aggregate them into a browser tab that refreshes automatically. I set it up because I have a tiny instance and our news flow isn't great. You can use it too! You don't have to have a API key or even a Mastodon account.

I miss the "old" days when every website with a news section had an #RSS feed for it...

TIL #Feedly #RSS reader can keep articles to read later. This means I can get rid of #Pocket. Of course first I have to catch up with 7 years worth of articles already on my Pocket. In reality it means I'll now have two places for articles I'll never get back to :-( I guess I have to declare read-later-bankrupcy
Looking to move away from #Feedly for my news feeds since it appears to limit free users to 100 feeds…rn I’m checking out the following web #RSS feed readers:
#Inoreader #Feeder #Feedreader
What web clients do you guys use for #RSS feeds?
