Simmilar story for me, Reader died as I was working 12h shifts of IT support for a global company, during the nightshifts there was plenty of downtime, and I put all the time I got back from Readers death into Reddit, and after the apicalypse I deleted my accounts on Reddit and for a few months I just kept reading Reddit, then on the day before yesterday I got on Lemmy.
I used Google Reader, but I did jump over to inoreader for quite a while to follow webcomics. RSS feeds still exist, so you can start curating your lists again anytime. It’s nice to find those gem sites/blogs one wouldn’t normally see on lemmy/Reddit/etc
I kinda feel like RSS died when Google Reader died.
I miss it from time to time, it was such a smart idea.
I did try alternatives to Google Reader, but never liked them…
Readers death made me start spending more time on reddit, reddits death brought me here.
