Do you use News Feeds (RSS) in Thunderbird?

(If you do, here's one to add to your list: blog.thunderbird.net/feed/)

Always found reading feeds on mobile way easier and practical. Currently using Nextcloud News app.

using a selfhosted RSS feed aggregator that will fetch my feeds in the background and the read / fav status is kept centrally when using multiple devices.

I love Thunderbird for email, but ... please do not feed the feature creep!

While RSS feeds are fine in Thunderbird, I don't use Matrix (often) and actually I don't want this bloat in my email Client!

i've been answering yes and no, not to screw your poll, but because I ve been using rss in thunderbird a lot for years, but not those days (i use external self hosting service).
Anyway having a rss reader out of the box in an android version could be great.

Yep! First set up a new Feed Account, and then you can add all your RSS feeds there with Manage Subscriptions. It'll show up in your folders pane alongside the rest of your email accounts.

This better not be a prelude to removing RSS capability from Thunderbird!

It absolutely is not! If anything, it's the beginning of a little educational campaign :D

I don't use a computer to check my email anymore. Since Thunderbird is not on mobile I use #fairemail instead. It's the closest to Thunderbird for mobile. I use #feedly on my phone for my RSS.

very sad news today my favorite mobile email app is being discontinued #fairemail thanks to Google's malicious behavior. I liked the ability to block tracking links and photos. I'm keeping the app for now in hopes that someone takes on the project. Does anyone have a good recommended email app for Android?

We're sorry to hear about FairEmail shutting down. Truly, it's a sad day when any open source project ends up this way.

An open-source alternative for Android would be K9.

I can't get k9 to work with my email. I will keep an eye out for the potential of Thunderbird on mobile.

it's alive and well! To the best of my knowledge, it was never intentionally disabled or removed.

I'm not a heavy RSS user, but I used to subscribe to a few things with Firefox Live Bookmarks. Since those were removed, I now use Thunderbird for those feeds instead.

Has your experience been OK with Thunderbird on the News Feed side of things?
