I stopped using RSS a long long time ago. And then when I left Reddit and found Lemmy, I also restarted my RSS feeds and cleaned up the links. I don't go there everyday but I do enjoy when I get there.

But I have asked in numerous places for people's best RSS links and always come up with zero feedback.

So let's try it here. What are your best RSS links?

    its been a while since i checked out mine, but the ones i do still sometimes read are

    hackernews frontpage: https://hnrss.org/frontpage low-tech magazine: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/feeds/all-en.atom.xml xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/rss.xml oglaf (often nsfw): https://www.oglaf.com/feeds/rss/ and k6bd (a long comic, highly recommend starting at the beginning): https://killsixbilliondemons.com/feed/

    they might not be the best for you, though, you should try looking for if the websites you read still have an rss page

    I tend to go for the fire hose approach with news agencies AP, democracy now, CCN, RT Al Jazeera, BBC, France 24, Fox, common dreams, NPR, pew research, open source post, and a few geographically local sources. Entertainment pbs has a few, tvline, xkcd. Using capy reader.

    Maybe I'm not understand what you're asking. You want to build a list of feeds to follow, right? To avoid single point failure or censorship, right?

    So stop asking for one link, and start telling us what topics you care about. There is no point in a non-custom list of RSS feeds. You need to start the process yourself.

    If I understand correctly he’s asking for links to sites that have an RSS feed available, to fill up some app like NetNewsWire with good content. I found this hard myself, just getting news sources or whatever, since I think a lot of these sites have disabled any old RSS feeds they used to have to funnel users through their algorithms

    If I asked just for the topics I care about then I'm not helping anyone else reading. I'm looking for the quality sources. The ones that aren't filled with filler. The ones that have the key news stories and the oddball stuff.

    I follow some of theguardian.com's topical feeds - each tag and author has their own feed. It's a UK-based site, but it has international editions and mostly does good quality centre-left journalism.
