I’ve been trying to lean back into using RSS again after realizing I shouldn’t let the algorithms decide what I see. What RSS feeds do you people follow and why? Any recommendations? Do you tend to follow the RSS feeds of Lemmy as well?

It looks promising but keeps crashing when I try to open an article 🙁
Mostly webcomics and a few Dreamwidth pages.
seventy-odd webcomics and a dozen or so blogs
My torrent tracker because releases :)
Side question: What do you use as an RSS reading?
I have feeds for world news, science, privacy, tech. Recently, I started following a few local government departments via Nitter. Its pretty easy to do.
Happy to post what I have.
I subscribe to ~100 feeds but I have no idea what you’re into so dumping the list on you won’t help.
Instead, check out these directories that list RSS feeds by topic:
A bunch of software development blogs that I’ve collected (~40). I’d love to share a list but I can’t find an easy way to export them from Feedly :(
Related: what are the best rss readers out there? I’ve been mostly happy with Feedly but I’d really like something that is:
- FOSS
- No login/account, all data local
- Android app
- Follow RSS feeds, sort into categories
- Save for later
- Save favourites
- Tag categories
- Import/export subscriptions
- Read full text locally in the app (don’t need to open the website)
- Supports text to speech
Like others below, I use FreshRSS for the server component. I have the Read You app on my phone which syncs with it, and makes for a pleasant reading experience.
I use Feeder https://f-droid.org/packages/com.nononsenseapps.feeder/
The only thing in your list it doesn’t do is text to speech and once in a while I do have to go to the website but that only for very long articles.
It has a keyword filter which is probably my favourite feature.
I also self host FreshRSS. Was super easy to setup. I don’t expose it, so when away from home I use wire guard to connect to my home network.
Ahh yes, the walled garden trap.
I self-host a copy of FreshRSS which does most of those things. No Android app but the PWA works.
Whether you can read the full text in the app or not usually depends on whether the source provides a feed with the full text in it - changing your reader app won’t make much difference.
I suggest you add an RSS feed detector to your browser so that you know if the page/site you’re viewing has an RSS feed.
Grab them as you go.
I keep track of a bunch of subreddits that dont exist here.
That said, its really getting bad for bots there. Even formerly tightly regulated ones like space are bot trash now.
List of my own saved posts and comments.
I’m interested too (I have a teader, but no feeds), what about a community for sharing RSS feeds?
Cool idea!

Webcomics.
Disappointingly, a lot of good webcomics use Instagram or Twitter and don’t have RSS access.
Nitter should be able to convert a Twitter feed to rss. I do this with a number of Twitter accounts I follow. I’m not sure how a webcomic will look in rss.
I haven’t used RSS since once a long time ago when I confused it for CSS when I was trying to figure out how to change a website I didn’t control’s layout automatically in my browser.
