I am still new to privacy, please steer me. I see that many use RSS feeds to get their news. I was trying to use neuters as a front end to get my RSS feed started and cannot get it going.
Is a front-end even necessary for RSS feed? Does it help with tracking? Am I approaching my news aggregator the wrong way?
I tried searching RSS generator websites for neuters since I couldn't just load the webpage into the app, but many are paid or require accounts. I have steered away from that at the moment. I just assumed every website could enroll in RSS...I was completely wrong.
I wanted to set up with NetNewsWire on ios.
I am willing to go an entire new direction with the collective knowledge from this community.
Thank you for the reply. I was referring to news from Reuters, but on a front-end named https://neuters.de/ that removes everything except the article content.
So, typically you use an rss reader of some sort, that fetches the content for you at a regular interval. I use LiFeRea, but there are other free ones. The websites are typically not free because they have to pay for all that bandwidth. I would look into Free/Open Source Software rss readers, you're likely to find something thats functional, free, and doesn't insert ads into your feed.
The most private rss readers is one that is installed on your device, doesn't require an account, is open source and has no trackers. Feeder from F-Droid is a good example of this.
The worse would be a website type that requires a paid account and only takes a credit card.
