All youtube channels have their own feeds, but they're not obvious to find. The first part of the URL looks like this:
Go to the channel's home page and search the page source for "channel_id=" (with a long string of numbers and letters after it, often starting with a "U") then paste the ID after the equal sign. The channel id looks something like this: UCtwKon9qMt5YLVgQt1tvJKg
You wouldn't need that if YouTube actually sent notifications like it's supposed to. So this will come in handy.
Hang on, do you or anyone else know if it's possible to add playlists to RSS in this way? There are channels that I overall don't want to watch but that have a specific playlist I want to follow.
This might be useful for their community posts - is there a seperate feed for them or are they included in the videos feed?
I never see the community posts anywhere except for the home page & on the creator's page. Which makes it frustrating because I only stay in the subscriptions page - so I only get updates if they upload a video.
Yeah, this doesn't include community posts. I haven't tried finding one tho
Vivaldi detects these automatically so you can in a couple of clicks. It's great
