Re: "Thoughts on feeds. I have been struggling with my feeds..."
Now that I think of it, one could be more mindful about the feeds they follow by skimming the headlines and saving the links in a Reading List of some kind. I could see myself having a list of stuff to read in an app like Obsidian so I could link directly to the things I find interesting.

@PikaSonic That is typically what I do with my feeds. I rarely actually read an article in my feed reader. I skim the titles and sometimes a little bit of the article itself and if it is something I would like to read it gets added to wallabag and synced to my ereader for reading. I also have a smaller selection of feeds I consider the most interesting that I sync to my PDA.

Thoughts on feeds. I have been struggling with my feeds recently. Both RSS and fedi. I lose enthusiasm for a person because I’m only interested in one of the topics they write about. Eventually I don’t bother searching through the feeds for the good stuff. Then eventually my feed reader app is just not exciting to me anymore. I’d really like better curation tools so I could construct a better experience for myself. There seems to be a culture that posting a unified stream of your thoughts...
