I'm also trying to go back to RSS, but the feeds now consist on a title and a link, CNN, BBC, NYT, all of them are forcing you to go to their websites, man I miss those RSS days so bad ๐
The days of Google News were the golden age of news aggregation
They do it for the only reason to get you to open the website. There is no other reason. RSS is perfectly fine of showing the whole article โ but not the ads.
Check out axios. They have a very short articles and I don't think they require you to go to their site.
Here are some feeds in English that I like:
My subscriptions elsewhere (consolidation)
- https://beehaw.org/feeds/local.xml?sort=Active - the RSS feed for my Lemmy subscriptions (replace the instance with yours if necessary)
- Loads of RSS feeds for Mastodon hashtags that I enjoy
- Archive of our own feeds for certain fandoms
- RSS feeds for each Nebula channel I follow
- Inoreader allows me to sync YouTube subscriptions, so I do that too
- A bunch of Medium blogs
Blogs I recommend
- Ask a Manager is a great column advice
- Autostraddle, amazing lesbian & trans magazine
- Ben Werdmuller, a tech guy who still makes sense to non-tech me
- Blogroll.org to find out about cool indie blogs
- Chris Coyier talks about libre software in a not-too-scary-and-techy way
- CrimethInc and their Peertube channel for regular anarchy talk
- Darnell talks about the Fediverse
- Peertube news for Peertube news
- The trans advice column, for trans people & allies
- Walled culture on open access to culture and anti-copyright
- When/If, one of the few leftist survivalist blogs out there
Iโm boring, just tech news feeds (Ars, Macrumors, The Verge). Oh and 1 gaming feed for The Gaming Historian when they release a video.
I self host RSSHub. Their docs actually have a ton of good news options that use their URL. The docs page does not load properly on my phone though, it just shows headers, so you may have to open on a desktop browser.
