Do people not use it anymore? I still do. I follow a boatload of different youtube channels, webcomics, blogs, etc. If there’s some other way besides RSS to have all of those updates show up on a single page, I don’t know it.
What’s your setup? How do you aggregate different feeds to one page? Where do you find the feeds? I have so many RSS questions - everyone who uses it loves it and I want to understand it.
That’s what I used twitter for tbh. Since everyone is on it it’s easy to follow people, get instant updates and maybe even discover something new through the people you follow and their likes. It’s really a shame it went to shit, it was the lurkers perfect tool, especially when it comes to artists or content creators.
lots (all?) of Content Management Systems and blogs have a RSS feed.
Weird. I unpacked my old RSS subs from the Google trader days and the it on a self-hosted RSS Reader. Most are dead. Fine, maybe it’s because the website/creator/blog is dead.
But when i start trying to curate current content to subscribe to i find that many don’t offer feeds. Sometimes you can guess the feed. But compared to a decade ago I’m finding it much harder to find feeds.
I’m not talking about CMS or blogs though, I mean individuals that are active on twitter. Redigit, the developer of Terraria doesn’t have an RSS feed but is active on twitter. Valheim devs often post sneak peaks of upcoming updates on their personal twitter accounts. Rebecca, creative director of warframe is active on twitter. Lots of twitch streamers or youtubers don’t have separate blog posts or sites, they just post on twitter about upcoming streams, videos or events. Webcomics and artists might have their own sites but generally its easier to discover new ones on twitter where they also often retweet other similar artists.
It’s probably different for academia and businesses but for me, a completely casual user that doesn’t contribute to twitter and instead just has a highly curated feed of things he likes, twitter was perfect before they started filling the feed with random crap I’m not even following. It doesn’t seem to me like RSS is a replacement for that.

I use Feeder for Android and view everything from there. Notifies me of new posts. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/
For like reddit I do https://teddit.net/r/[subreddit]?api&type=rss
For twitter I do https://nitter.net/[username]/rss
Can display things in groups or all together. Lists them chronologically. No need for an account. No need to visit the site.
Reddit kinda replaced that for me. With leaving Reddit, just today I’ve installed a rss feed reader on my laptop and phone.

Not everyone is on twitter, but lots (all?) of Content Management Systems and blogs have a RSS feed.
As an academic, I’m syndicated to several labs and research groups which have their own websites, but don’t care about being visible on Twitter.
