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.

    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.

    You can subscribe to RSS feeds from companies that provide them, or you can pay for a service that will create one for you like RSS.app

    I’ve never heard of neuters.
