it’s missing quiterss
RSS is a nice idea. Unfortunately too many websites want you to use email “newsletters” instead.
Even Ghost has no mechanism to add an RSS link. You have to inspect the page code or use a dedicated extension.
Feeder on my phone is my go-to source of information about the things I’m interested in on a daily basis. That and The Guardian is all I need.

RSS/Atom can contain a summary, or it can be the full article. It’s the choice of the website what to put in it. They only put a summary to force you to visit their webpage to serve ads.
I think the use of the word “enabling” is correct.
Many RSS readers will scrape the entire contents from the website
But that’s not the purpose of RSS, it’s an extra of the client.
I used to use freshrss,innoreader,qireader,not select the services like AI
my problem with these was that id have one website filling up the feed with a lot of posts and another interesting website that only makes a post every once in awhile and i almost never see it
is there a solution to this?
I have a firehose folder on freshrss that has its own rotation rules such that posts are only retained for a couple days and are then deleted. It is also excluded from the “main” feed listing. Works great for news sites.
I use FreshRSS, I haven’t found this firehose option. Can you elaborate? This sounds really interesting
I just created a specific folder for it, then in Subscription management, click the little gear beside the folder heading and play with the purge settings for that folder.
Am I the only person to find it easier just to go to the site than reading hacked-up versions in some archaic email-wannabe dedicated client?
I have never understood the appeal of RSS.
