Getting into RSS again

I’ve recently moved away from Substack to get into a more chill blogging experience. I’m loving using Bearblog. It’s exactly what I had in mind.

Getting my own domain and learning CSS and Markdown are a very fun bonus.

Bearblogs kind of rely on RSS for subscription/following. It also supports email subscriptions, but I feel like it leans into more minimalist approaches.

I decided to give RSS another try. I haven’t used my Inoreader account since... I don’t know. Ages.

I logged into it, cleaned up my subscriptions, and transferred the Substack newsletters I still read into it. I’m now unsubscribing my email from them to further move away from Substack.

This is my RPG folder so far:

Still some ways to go, especially now that I’m finding a lot of cool Bearblogs and sites on the webring I joined, Rootring.

I have to say, RSS is fun, clean, and simple. I’m reading blogs like it’s 2008.

kramer and i’m loving every minute of it
