Ask HN: What are people's main sources of articles these days?

1 points by xenyal ↗ HN
I use HN as my primary source of news and articles these days as I'm having difficulty finding alternative sources for tech news, along with meaningful commentary. I find that the variety of article sources on here quite abundant, but aside from finding them on HN, how are people stumbling upon them otherwise?

When Google News did their redesign, it made the service essentially useless to me. I replaced it by installing Tiny Tiny RSS on my home webserver, which aggregates RSS feeds and makes them available in its own RSS feeds. I read the news using the web interface and (when mobile), using the Android gReader app.

That solution is even better for me than Google News was, and a big part of why is that it dramatically increased discovery of new things. Not only can I easily follow sites I use regularly, including HN, but I've included the feeds of a few aggregators that I appreciate to increase the amount of new stuff I see.
