Oct 24, 2026, 1:32 PM@fastfinge Oh really? I have seen it fail with a few websites where lire succeeds. Maybe I should take a second look after a few years. Wired, in particular, is something worth testing.

🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦fastfinge@interfree.caOct 24, 2026, 1:33 PM@amir I read wired via Apple News, so I can't speak to that. But it succeeds with Arstechnica where Lire generally fails. And miniflux does support adding extraction rules, where Lire doesn't have quite as much advanced support there.- Oct 24, 2026, 1:36 PM
@fastfinge I tried the Apple News Wired stuff. when I was subscribed to it. But Apple News doesn't provide as many articles as I can get from Wired's RSS feed.
- 🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦fastfinge@interfree.caOct 24, 2026, 1:36 PM@amir It should do? If you follow the publication anyway. Odd.

@fastfinge I once compared the articles almost a year ago, and the Apple side provides fewer articles. And a bit later than the actual RSS. Maybe things have changed.
- 🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦fastfinge@interfree.caOct 24, 2026, 1:38 PM@amir I wonder if it's because Apple News is based on the Magazine rather than the website?
- Oct 24, 2026, 1:40 PM
@fastfinge Exactly. That's it. Apple News is based on the magazine and provides fewer articles, and less frequently.

@fastfinge And have you tried NY Times and WSJ articles for text extraction? BlindRSS and lire can't get them as both publications are quite serious about paywalls - LOL! Bookshare offers both - even their online articles outside the scope of the newspapers, but reading them full-text via RSS feels much better and is less time-consuming.
- 🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦fastfinge@interfree.caOct 24, 2026, 1:43 PM@amir I read wirecutter, and full-text works there, and it's part of the NYT. I don't read WSJ at all as it's way too right-wing for me.

@fastfinge Agreed about WSJ 100 percent. I don't like it either.

@fastfinge And has Miniflux been set up on your server? I ask this because I can't set it up like that because I don't have a server. And the Iranian ones are mostly crap.
- 🇨🇦Samuel Proulx🇨🇦fastfinge@interfree.caOct 24, 2026, 1:35 PM@amir Yes, I use my own selfhosted miniflux. It's the only way to get around websites that use cloudflare to get full article text.

@fastfinge That's the best of both worlds!
