since becoming an RSS Guy™️ one thing I’ve noticed is all the rss readers I’ve tried are really invested in the read/unread status of posts, which is just not something I care about
it’s weird - is it just because it’s a Number you can show? do they secretly want to be making email clients? I don’t know but it’s kind of annoying to constantly have a “1,352 unread articles” indicator
also when the new follow page was released here I saw a lot of people compare it to rss but I’ve actually not seen an rss reader that has a view like that - I wish I knew of one because that would be great! (@staff let me subscribe to rss feeds on the following page and I’ll never open another tab again (jk… unless))
try fraidycat. that's basically what it is. you can even sort and organize sources.
as for the other thing, every cohost blog has a rss feed. mine for instance is https://cohost.org/obspogon/rss/public.atom. so if you just put all pages you're following into a rss reader...
(if you're going to fetch a lot of rss feeds i'd recommend getting an extension like this firefox one i use to fetch the feed urls for you)
