Have not been up on #DecRecs this year (I keep meaning to, & even thinking of things to rec and then forgetting 😅) but I do want to take a moment to rec subscribing to things via RSS! I just use dreamwidth.org’s built in reader which is Extremely Minimalist but there are many nice fuller featured rss readers out there (eg. https://netnewswire.com )
@Satsuma I use Nextcloud News to sync my subscriptions and read/unread status. NewsFlash is a good one on Linux, and the NextCloud News app is good on Android.
I haven't found one I really like on Windows, but RSS Guard as least works well. I've also been trying out Vivaldi's feed support lately.
I reviewed a bunch of them back when I stopped using Feedly: https://hyperborea.org/reviews/tag/feeds/
