I used to use flipboard, then once I got hooked on Reddit I got lazy and just started getting all my news from there.

Since this place is still getting its start thought I might go back to one to supplement me. Where you guys get your news?

    I used to use Feedly to aggregate RSS feeds and then rely on Reddit subbreddits for discussion on topics for the “hello person who wrote/made thing discussed”

    Lazerpig/Perun both had “Ground News” as adverts, you can treat it as a RSS Feed Reader, but it also tracks mainstream news sources.

    The nice part is I used to follow The Guardian and The Telegraph for opposing news stories, that’s effectively built in, you see each story with all sources reporting on it and where they lie politically.

    It has a “blindspot” feature which pushes stuff your not looking at. Initially it was pretty “here is random us state politics” which as a British person I don’t care. The blindspots are now british focussed, I still don’t care but atleast its British things I know off and don’t care about (Like Prince Harry).

    It costs £2.99 per month, so I’ll share my referral. I don’t i believe I don’t get anything from it but it gives a 1 month free trial. https://ground.news/download and use this referral code 9409938.

      Thanks for taking the time to write this. I’d seen Ground News before, but I didn’t think it was anything more than all the other news aggregators. Your description, however, has made me really interested!

      Can you comment on the benefits of subscribing at the various levels versus the free tier?
