RSS is great for following blogs and sites of specific interests, like local sites, or sites about specific subjects. You get ALL the updates. For example. I live in Baltimore and have a bunch of local sites in my RSS reader.

Reddit/Lemmy, on the other hand, is a more democratically human curated and upvoted aggregator so while it hits all the popular stuff beyond the topics you follow on RSS, it will miss a lot too.

So I use both.

Feedly for hundreds of sites of interest. And Reddit and now Lemmy for the rest.

Good stuff!

nah

Siri, while not great, handles timers, reminders, and dumbshit like that just fine without typing. I have yet to find another good use for these assistants.

Haha! Thank you!

That looks like the local front page… but yeah, the world is kind of shit.

subscribe to the communities that align to what you want to read and do the subscribed feed, friend!

Yes! BUTTTTT I have a master plan!!!

HERE ME OUT!

I’m on Instagram and have a bunch of followers, around 200K.

SO - My plan is to squat as the IG users pick up Threads. Most people will just follow the same people from IG (Meta encourages it and it fills your feed fast).

My follower count on Threads should grow just from that alone, right?

THEN - Facebook finally federates, right?

THEN! Facebook allows for account migration to Mastodon.

First… I migrate my @renwillis@mstdn.social account to Threads.

Finally… Immediately migrate all my followers from Threads back to mstdn.social.

Suddenly potentially 200K are following a Mastodon account!!! MWUH-HAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

I’m still on IG so I’ll have an account by default I guess. I may take a peek to see how they implemented it, but it’s hard to imagine staying.
