Whatever the linguistic details, one of the main roles of RSS is to supply directly to you a steady stream of updates from a website. Every new article published on that site is served up in a list that can be interpreted by an RSS reader.
Unfortunately, RSS is no longer how most of us consume “content.” (Google famously killed its beloved Google Reader more than a decade ago.) It’s now the norm to check social media or the front pages of many different sites to see what’s new. But I think RSS still has a place in your life: Especially for those who don’t want to miss anything or have algorithms choosing what they read, it remains one of the best ways to navigate the internet. Here’s a primer on what RSS can (still!) do for you, and how to get started with it, even in this late era of online existence.

Feeder is a perfectly functional RSS reader for Android, and the only updated and straight forward one on F-Droid when I decided to set up my feeds, and an app I’ve seen suggested on Lemmy several times when there’s mention of RSS…
but why doesn’t it have groups? I’ve got my general news mixed with tech news, cluttered in between the rest of it- it does have grouping and it’s called “tags”this thread made me re-check and there are some new options in there and at least one will let you group the feeds: Read You
EDIT: dumb take
I can do groups in feeder.
omg, thank you. i just learnt about the “tags” function that I’ve always assumed worked differently without even trying it
Read You is great
