RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it is a simple, standardized content distribution method that can help you stay up-to-date with your favorite newscasts, blogs, websites, and social media channels. Instead of visiting sites to find new posts or subscribing to sites to receive notification of new posts, find the RSS feed on a website and read new posts in an RSS reader.

Do you use RSS to curate your own information feed? Looking to expand my sources to include different perspectives and new interesting topics and would love any suggestions.

    I stopped using RSS around when I started using Reddit, so around 2008-2009!
    I’m surprised to see that it’s still so popular, or has it gained traction again recently?
    I didn’t hear much about RSS in between 2010-2022 TBH.

      The whole podcast ecosystem is based on RSS. It’s more popular than ever. People just don’t realize that they’re using RSS.

      It never really died, but it got a boost lately with people getting more critical about the sources they get the news from instead of relying on Google or Apple algorithms. Fediverse supporting RSS also didn’t hurt.
