RSS: there's nothing better

When Google killed the Reader, I switched to Feedly and still using them. Useful enough so I have paid subscription. Still using them after four years, nothing better around as far as I can see. Facebook certainly not even in the same galaxy, and I have no idea why Twitter even mentioned in that topic. IMHO RSS and accompanied readers are still the best for keeping oneself informed.

Feedly killed RSS for me. The way their mobile app scrolls[1] articles just absolutely ruined the experience and I couldn’t find any better app/service before giving up on RSS entirely

[1] https://i.imgsir.com/G0jR.gif - weird entire page scroll going on instead of just scrolling normally. Makes it impossible to skim read the titles

I use reeder as the client, much better than feedly ‘s ui but feedly is still the backend. Working great since I came back to rss for about a year.

Thanks I'll give that a go. I am going to have so many unread articles if I get back into RSS reading hah

Pretty much any RSS client these days can connect to Feedly API so you don't need to use their app.

I don't know any RSS clients.

Try looking in Settings - Look And Feel - Transitions. It looks like you're set in Scroll, which I admit looks & feels really weird. I find Stack to be better.

I'm surprised that Feedly doesn't implement a standard scroll like Twitter etc, at least as an option.

Unfortunately none of them work for me. Stack in my eyes is just what they call scroll with a fancy animation.

When skimming headlines I want to keep my eyes fixed and move the content past them

Same here. I follow HN FROM Feedly so I can minimize the risk of missing any post.
