Fraidycat

In plain words

Fraidycat is a feed reader that lets users follow people across the internet rather than just websites. It consolidates updates from social media profiles, blogs, and other sources into a single interface, making it easier to keep track of individuals regardless of where they post. The tool is designed for people who want a more personalized way to follow friends and creators without relying on algorithm-driven social feeds.

From the sources

Fraidycat is a desktop app or browser extension for Firefox or Chrome. I use it to follow people ( hundreds ) on whatever platform they choose - Twitter, a blog, YouTube, even on a public TiddlyWiki. There is no news feed . Rather than showing you a massive inbox of new posts to sort through, you see a list of recently active individuals. No one can noisily take over this page, since every follow has a summary that takes up a mere two lines. You can certainly expand this 'line' to see a list of recent titles (or excerpts) from the individual - or click the name of the follow to read the individual on their network. And, if you are logged-in to your browser, Fraidycat will sync your follows…from fraidyc.at
