Perviously I doomscrolled a lot on website which shall not be named. Now that it's gone (for me) I recognize that I like it a lot better without.

To waste/spend my time in the future I try to subscribe consciously to interesting things with low signal to noise ratio. So what are your favourite RSS feeds you are subscribed?

I am interested mostly in tech and green things.

If you haven't already, subscribing to the hackernews RSS feed seems to cover most news stories in the tech space.

But which one? The frontpage? Best comments? Some filter?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

"best" is good, frontpage is fine too. you can also subscribe to specific search results, that's what I do

Hey, are you me?!

I came to the same conclusion. I’ve been using Reeder on MacOS. So many feeds these days do not have full content but the Reeder app can be configured to pull all of the text (minus some of the images).

Anyway, these have been my favorite feeds categorized by interest:

  • The Atlantic and Wired for Culture
  • Ars Technica, The Verge, VGC, IGN, Push Square for Gaming
  • Torrent Freak for Piracy
  • Wired for Science
  • The Verge for Crypto
  • The Verge, Wired for AI
  • Hacker News (frontpage with 250 point minimum), The Atlantic for Technology
  • 9to5Mac for Apple

You’ll notice that some sites show up multiple times but that is because I subscribe to sub-feeds for my categories of interest.

TIL the verge covers crypto. I usually use coindesk or cointelegraph

[–] aCosmicWave 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tried RSS for coindesk and cointelegraph but it was just a flood of hourly crypto movements and such. I wanted something a little more "big picture" haha.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

ah fair enough. i follow coindesk mainly on telegram so i usually just get the headlines

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ha! I am currently subscribed to 357 RSS/Atom feeds, at least some of which are English-speaking and technology-related. However, "tech" is a too broad term to give good recommendations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Replying to recommend NewsBlur to anyone that’s looks for a reader. They have a free tier, and solid mobile apps (for iOS anyways). https://NewsBlur.com

Do you use Feedly for an RSS reader experience? I've been using that since it first started, and it's one of the apps I use the most.

This is what my tech news folder looks like: Ars Technica broadbandreports.com Engadget Y Hacker News: Best MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors NYT > Technology TechCrunch The Verge Xbox Wire

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I second Feedly! Awesome app. I pair it with Pocket to save articles.

You should get into Personal websites' RSS feeds. I recommend checking #100DaysToOffload if you have Mastodon or similar, they are pretty much small blogs done by people just trying to write about stuff, nothing too serious, but entertaining
