it's been over 10 years since FriendFeed shut down. Back then, most people moved to Twitter/X, but over the years it has become much noisier, with engagement farming, bots, and algorithm-driven content. I still miss the simpler experience FriendFeed offered.
one of my favorite features was being able to connect RSS feeds from different websites and services into your profile, while also following other people's activity in a single timeline.
i missed that enough that I decided to build something inspired by it: Fupio.
one thing I changed is how RSS works. Instead of RSS feeds only belonging to users, every RSS feed has its own profile and can be followed independently. At the same time, you can attach feeds to your own profile if you want to showcase your activity.
for example, my profile combines my GitHub and Reddit activity:
https://fupio.com/mehmetkose
i'm a developer, so I mostly follow Hacker News, developer blogs, open-source projects, and other tech feeds. The homepage is intentionally simple, just a stream of posts from the RSS feeds you follow, along with thoughts and discussions from people. There's no endless algorithmic feed; ranking is based on a popularity system inspired by Hacker News.
the site has been live for about a month, and I'm still actively improving it.
i'd genuinely love some honest feedback
i'm not trying to replace existing social networks, I mainly built this because I missed FriendFeed, and I'm curious whether anyone else has been looking for something similar.
thanks in advance
