I definitely use it for YouTube subscriptions, News, Digg Top Stories, Reddits...

The end of Reddit? Why the blackout is still going – and what happens next in c/[email protected]

[–] BendyLemmy 5 points 2 years ago

What's interesting is that people are becoming more aware. For years, Google has been getting messed up as Reddit kind of absorbed the web... and now it's hard to find things outside Reddit.

It's better to build better internet by working outside Reddit - that doesn't mean Reddit isn't good.

I noticed that r/startrek is permanently dark, they set up on Lemmy.ml

YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content in c/youshouldknow

Interesting to see this linked in Calkey... https://i.imgur.com/fD7fjrP.png Wonder and Confuddlement abounds - it's a weird and wonderful world.

RSS is one of the oldest protocols existing. Basically it's like a feed with links to things posted...

I'd suggest you start with Feedly or Inoreader, make an account and take a look.

For me, it means that I can see notifications (Inoreader) telling me how many unread items have occurred across the 79 websites I added as feeds.

I have a folder for 'Fediverse' with feeds like Lemmy - ukraine (also Reddit's r/ukraine).
I have a 'Linux' folder, containing a few interesting blogs - like Niccolo's KDE developer blog, a few news sites, plus announcements from my OS forum.
I have a 'News' folder with various sources (one is a journalist I know with a Facebook page - as I don't use Facebook).
I have a 'Video' folder
I have a 'Time Waster' folder which has things like Digg, WindowSwap, Drive & Listen

Basically, any time you make an account and request updates from a website, the same can be done with NO account and simply copying the RSS link.

It gives you updates on things you don't need to bother bookmarking or opening to follow.

Well there's the rub. I added the RSS a day or two ago, I saw that post. The post is from a lemmy.world account on Beehaw - I think it should be trivial to open it and interact.

If I look at the similar Lemmy feed, I don't see it - and I can't find it in a search - it's kind of 'walled off' to me.

Beehaw and Lemmy.World don't have the same headers.

Yes, I know - I missed the speech marks on Brian's last comment (",)

Yes, I'm not too worried yet.

Some folks are busy setting up subs here - it'll be interesting to see if we can get subs with both direct posts as well as direct feeds from Reddit too (I get 99% of Reddit via RSS).

This is the way.

Ah, when I do that, I see 'Subscribe Pending' :(

Strangely, I cancelled and subscribed again - now ✔ joined
