From the above websites I found after some testing that the most reliable and useful in the 'free' tier are:
- https://rss.app/ (to convert the Twitter links to
xmlRSS files) - Quiterss the open source client where from you'll be reading the RSS feeds
- First create an account at https://rss.app/ . Mind you, it seems that when you create it you're enlisted in the first paid plan, the "premium" package. The trial lasts 7 days. The advantages of the "premium" package over the "free" package are:
Premium: 40 RSS Feeds, 4 Widgets, 4 Email Digest, 30 Minute Refresh Rate, 25 Posts in Collection, Up to 25 posts Per Feed, Link to Source, Social Media, Custom Widgets, Bundle Feeds, Filters, Email Support.Free: 2 RSS feeds, 1 Widgets, 24 Hour Refresh Rate, Up to 5 Posts Per Feed, Link to RSS.app / Ads.- The disadvantages of the "premium" package are that it costs $9.99/month (monthly subscription) or $8.32/month (annual subscription).
- Then copy paste the Twitter URL, say of a specific hashtag search result (example).
- Then go to the rss.app page and press the "+New Feed" button on top right.
- Choose "Twitter RSS Feed".
- Then you'll be redirected to a new page. Copy the URL ending with an
.xmlfile under the "Your feed is ready". - Download and install the QuiteRSS client.
- Open the QuiteRSS app. Press the "+" symbol on top left and press continue/okay.
Congrats, now you're getting the Tweets for your selected hashtags in the RSS feed reader every 30 minutes (premium package) or every 24h (free package).
You can add any sources of info supported by rss.app such as Reddit subreddits too.
I'm using it to track both Twitter hastags and the subreddits I'm interested into.
