I do the same thing and it is definitely better than checking the order-changing front-page multiple times a day not to miss something interesting, but I could do away with less posts to scroll through.

Though I would be very interested in your RSS setup if you could share a bit about it. I use Reeder and add interesting sounding posts to read later where I might actually get to reading it, but over time I no longer manage to clear it.. I have plenty of old posts I’ve taken a look at and wanted to check it out later as well more in-depth or something, and they just stay there indefinitely..

This is the way.
