I got a lot of my headlines from reddit. Due to the impending death of my favorite app (Sync for Reddit) however, that’s coming to an end.
I’m now realising my Reddit experience had deteriorated slowly, just doomscrolling the hours away wasn’t healthy and I’m even kind of glad this is a good reason to end it. However, reddit has been really useful for news, especially the comments (taken with the right amount of skepticism) could be very informative.
I hope Lemmy builds something similar, but the defederation of beehaw’s news has been a setback.
What would be a good alternative, going forward, for getting news and backgrounds from varied, trustworthy en unbiased sources?
I use Flym News Reader (Android app). It’s open source and you can find it on F-Droid and GitHub. It’s not updated anymore but it has the best combination of features (and I’ve tried a lot of RSS readers). You can easily add news sources because it has a built-in feed search (when you hit the “add feed” button). It can also import OPML feed collections.
