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 don’t have any specific feeds, and of course it depends on your interests, but I just wanted to recommend to keep an eye out for feeds during your everyday browsing
When I see an interesting link on Lemmy to a news article or a blog, I just look at a couple of more articles on that site, and if it seems interesting I subscribe to it! 😅😉 (I can always unsubscribe later if it turns out that I don’t like it). I started using RSS a few days ago, and I’ve collected quite a few blogs and news sites this way
(Btw also keep in mind, that some news sites provide feeds for specific tags, you don’t have to subscribe to everything that gets posted)
The tags for specific feeds seem to be really important for news sites. I tried adding one without it, and it completely overwhelmed my feed with a billion posts per day. I removed it in less than 24 hrs, lol
