Checking the "Feed Info" (a nice option, missing in Feedly) no longer indicates any error. I refreshed the page, and the error disappeared. Unfortunately, I can't share with you what that is. Note that Inoreader has alerted me to something wrong with this feed. For reliability, I have to give it to them. Inoreader blows Feedly out of the water in this example. Compare these posts to the raw feed data, and you'll see everything at it should be. Here you can see that even the most recent post, along with each and every other recent post, is accounted for. Now let's see what it looks like in Inoreader:
If items start going missing, and we have to visit the site itself just for updates, then it defeats the point of RSS. We know that each and every post will show up in our reading list. OK, so we're not a huge contingent by any means, but I think one of the joys of RSS is not having to worry that we're missing articles. Notice also that I'm not the only RSS subscriber for this feed: 5 others are presumably having the same issue. That's a problem, as it means I missed over a hundred days of posts.
At some point, it seems Feedly just stopped polling this feed. Here you can see that, even after a few page refreshes, Feedly's articles for this feed are wildly out of date, the last being 162 days old. I took all these screen-shots just minutes ago: Now, let's compare how r/Lubuntu looks in both Feedly and Inoreader. Notice the most recent entries, the latest being 10:12 AM. I'm showing you this because, have a look at this raw feed data for r/Lubuntu (as displayed here in Firefox). I'm a huge fan of Lubuntu, so naturally I subscribe to the r/Lubuntu RSS feed. No problems.īut, for smaller subreddits, it becomes an issue. Normally, this works great on both Feedly and Inoreader. I peruse them in my feed reader, and if I care to see (or make) a comment, I click-through to the Reddit thread itself. So it's not surprising that I subscribe to multiple Reddit RSS feeds.
I'm a big fan of Reddit, but a bigger fan of RSS. Issue 1 : Smaller feeds : The case of r/Lubuntu For me, two things have stuck out since last time: difficulty parsing smaller feeds, and Twitter integration. While I like that Feedly has upped its search features for free users, Inoreader continues to innovate also, doing things I've really wanted to see in a feed reader. I think I'll just cut to the chase this time: It's been a few months since my last post on this topic, so I thought I'd revisit these two fine products. See Part 1, Part 3, Part 4, and Part 5 if you're interested. Note: This is Part 2 in my humble series, as I agonize over whether to commit to Feedly or Inoreader as my RSS reader of choice.
