Do you use News Feeds (RSS) in Thunderbird?
(If you do, here's one to add to your list: https://blog.thunderbird.net/feed/)
@thunderbird@mastodon.online One of the reason why I use Thunderbird!
- Mail
- Contacts
- Calandar
- Feed
All in one app and that for free!
@cookie You know it! Thanks for using TB.
@thunderbird@mastodon.online Always! I've tried many apps/client but I always come back to Thunderbird!
@cookie And chat! (If you use Matrix)
@thunderbird@mastodon.online WAIT! that is a thing I've looked over!
I do use Matrix as my default since some days now, so I should check this out!
@thunderbird@mastodon.online Waaa my eyes! The background of the chats do not sync with the themes yet! haha
So far looks promising!
@cookie @thunderbird You can choose a chat theme separately though. But yeah, it's not a great experience out of the box, especially since changing the chat theme needs a restart.
@freaktechnik@chaos.social @thunderbird@mastodon.online Oh I need to check that out, I sadly also experience issues with sending.. maybe I did do something wrong
@cookie @thunderbird in encrypted rooms you might have to get cross signing working correctly. Does it show that it failed to send the message or does it just never happen?
@freaktechnik@chaos.social @thunderbird@mastodon.online I'm curious where you find these themes/settings?
@cookie @thunderbird in the application settings under "Chat"
@thunderbird Always found reading feeds on mobile way easier and practical. Currently using Nextcloud News app.
@thunderbird 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!
@thunderbird 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.
@thunderbird I going to add to FreshRSS
@thunderbird thunderbird is probably the worst place to do that
@thunderbird I really should use RSS more that I do, maybe this is a sign to start.
@thunderbird I'm using my Thunderbird to manage my contacts in my Mint
@thunderbird Wait you can do that? :O I need to try this...
@cozyGalvinism 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.
@thunderbird That's great! Thank you for the information!
@thunderbird This better not be a prelude to removing RSS capability from Thunderbird!
@chrisod It absolutely is not! If anything, it's the beginning of a little educational campaign :D
@thunderbird 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.
@thunderbird 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?
@chris1223 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.
@thunderbird I can't get k9 to work with my email. I will keep an eye out for the potential of Thunderbird on mobile.
@thunderbird I'm using feedly for my rss feeds and Thunderbird for my mails.
@thunderbird I did, but now I'm using Nextcloud News.
@thunderbird 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.
@faoluin Has your experience been OK with Thunderbird on the News Feed side of things?
@thunderbird Yeah, no complaints here. Thank you!
@thunderbird Thank you for this information, I am now an RSS reader.
@Jeqon Awesome! Let us know if you have any feedback.
