I use Reeder (https://apps.apple.com/app/id1529445840) on my iPad and iPhone. Before it allowed you to subscribe I was using Feedly.

Follow this playbook: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C25nyvIPYHy/?igsh=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==

I use it for digital books and it works great. You can configure it to send a book to an email so it appears automatically. The auto tagging works well too.

I didn’t see a paywall when I clicked on the link, but you can try this:

Not sure I trust the image. My hearth is not worth that much.

Not to mention that tile would be super slippery when wet.

Labors reader looks really great. Just wish it had an iOS/android app. I’ll definitely keep it in mind.

See if this works: https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraph.co.uk%2Fbusiness%2F2023%2F07%2F13%2Fwhite-hydrogen-disrupt-global-energy-net-zero%2F

Ah. I don’t know if this helps, but you can see all the communities for a given server and search. It’s hard to know what to search for sometimes, but for the most part it should have relevant keywords. I think you can also search All which will sow results from all fediverse instances.

From what I understand in how federation works, you shouldn’t need to join any other communities as they will all show up here. If you go to the All tab (rather than local or subscribed) you should see a ton of other stuff coming in. Then you should be able to subscribe, block or just ignore things. Once you have subscribed to quite a few communities then the subscribed becomes more useful to keep up on the things you are really interested in.

I didn’t see it listed in the comments but Stopthe Madness is the best extension I use, helps with YouTube but also other sites:
