    I kinda feel like RSS died when Google Reader died.

    I miss it from time to time, it was such a smart idea.

    I did try alternatives to Google Reader, but never liked them…

      Readers death made me start spending more time on reddit, reddits death brought me here.

        Simmilar story for me, Reader died as I was working 12h shifts of IT support for a global company, during the nightshifts there was plenty of downtime, and I put all the time I got back from Readers death into Reddit, and after the apicalypse I deleted my accounts on Reddit and for a few months I just kept reading Reddit, then on the day before yesterday I got on Lemmy.

      I used Google Reader, but I did jump over to inoreader for quite a while to follow webcomics. RSS feeds still exist, so you can start curating your lists again anytime. It’s nice to find those gem sites/blogs one wouldn’t normally see on lemmy/Reddit/etc
