I got FeedLand running in my home lab, but why did I bother with it? Besides the obvious to find whether I can, one of the main reasons is to use it for managing my RSS subscriptions. Over time many of the sites I add to my subscription list stop being updated and it seems like a good idea to remove those sites from the subscription list and therefore cut down on the number of unnecessary updates being made by my feed reader. FeedLand provides a nice view of all my feeds sorted by when they were last updated, so I can go to the bottom of the list and remove sites that haven't updated in a year or more. #
Right now I am using the public version of FeedLand to check for updates at the beginning of the day, then throughout the day I use River5. The feeds are organized differently in FeedLand than River5 and that makes it easier for find older updates. River5 displays new items in a reverse chronological order so it's great to see the latest updates over the last several hours, but I find FeedLand a bit easier to use go back in time more than four hours. I just feel using the two provides me the best way to keep on top of everything. I also have River5 running locally and that server is in my Tailnet so that I can access it remotely. Now that I have an instance of FeedLand running that I know will be available so longa s I keep it running, I might transition to using just it. #
One thing that I am interested in is using FeedLand for linkblogging. I have used Radio3 for that but when I settled on a more direct way of adding articles to Readwise Reader for later reading I stopped using Radio3. As long as Radio3 is hosted by Dave it's a risk of being taken down, so using something else for a linkblog, if I want to even build a linkblog, is a good idea. #
