<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@hannesm" class="u-url mention">@<span>hannesm</span></a></span> many years ago I used to use thunderbird (desktop only) as RSS reader, because I also followed some mailing lists at the time and wanted a single application as the source of "news". Nowadays I don't follow mailing lists anymore, and rather subscribe to some topics/people's feed on mastodon on my mobile, including 2 bots that aggregate news from other website. So still using 1 application as the source of (most) of my news, except the device changed, and the protocol changed.<br /> If you intend to develop and RSS/Atom reader application I'd suggest to also include support for other protocols, so that the user wouldn't need to use more than 1 application for the daily "news".<br />Although there is a neat trick: I heard you can add .rss to the end of a user profile URL +or hashtag URL) on mastodon, and get an RSS feed out of it. So adding "support" for mastodon doesn't require anything more than RSS support from the application in theory (with some convenience functions to build the appropriate URL for the user)</p>
