I am a brand new member of the fediverse and this is my first interaction, and I feel at home. When Reddit announced the api changes I stopped using the site entirely, and since then the thing I have missed the most is that reddit sense of humor, so this made me smile.
I use NetNewsWire on my iPad and Feeder on my Android phone to read RSS feeds from multiple sites (including Lemmy and Kbin). I also use it to monitor niche sub-reddits so I can give Reddit as little traffic as possible....
RSS is a standardized protocol that allows you to get updates from websites when new content gets published. Using a RSS client, you can follow multiple websites in a single interface.
In a very simple manner, is a file that contains all the content that a website (in this case a subreddit, but it can be a blog for example) publishes. For each publication, the RSS file contains an entry and each entry contains information like the author of the publication, date, content, summary, media links and so on.
You can use an rss reader to aggregate different RSS feeds from different sources and read them from a single app.
Really Simple Syndication is a format that allows a program or user to download a bunch of stuff as a simple list of titles, content and tags. RSS readers can also combine different sources into one feed, so you can grab articles from many different RSS capable sites and combine them into one cohesive list.
It is good to see that the spirit of reddit still lives ( lemmy.world )

Reddit appears to have neutered RSS feeds
