In an effort to further curate my online experience and try to bring stuff I’m interested in directly to me without all the “noise” and effort that goes with scrolling random sites, I’m late to the party and finally trying out RSS.
I installed a reader, and so far have added some local news, local weather, alerts (e.g. FDA warnings), a few niche blogs, NASA’s APOD and news feeds, a couple of comics, and a youtube channel (only got it to work once - it seems buggy for others), a podcast, and now I’m out of ideas.
Do y’all have any favorite feeds that you follow? Or any tips about where to look / types of feeds that might be interesting?
I follow my own Lemmy feed via RSS.
This is where I find the RSS link on my page. The RSS link it generates is based on which buttons you have chosen. My current RSS feed shows posts, hiding hidden posts, to everything I’ve subscribed to, using the Hot algorithm.
Clicking the link will download an XML file for RSS, or you can just right click and “Copy Link” and that works, too.
Ah, very nice! I’ve heard you can follow any Mastodon account via RSS too, but I haven’t tried that out yet. I’m glad to see RSS is alive and well in the fediverse.
Also for other feeds Metafilter always has good links and discussion.
They have a “subscribe to the RSS feed” button near the bottom of their main page.
