It's very much alive. It's the primary way I keep up with sites on the web. One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of websites have RSS feeds but don't advertise them or offer an obvious link, but are discoverable by looking at the site's page source.

> Now, with the advent of Agentic AI they seem to be an old fashioned way that is needed anymore.

One of the main reasons I use RSS is to assemble a news feed that I read. It's hard to see how Agentic AI can improve on that.

Can you provide some resources to extract RSS feeds?
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for. I run tt-rss on my own server. It gets the RSS feeds from sources I've configured, then performs categorization of the individual RSS entries into topics that I've defined, and provides RSS feeds of its own that aggregate those entries. I read the aggregated feeds my server generates.

Does this help?

tt-rss looks awesome, thanks for the rec!

It may be the push I need to start teaching myself how to set up and run a server and how to use Docker.
