i think youtube still supports rss feeds
i think some channels can turn it off but most don’t.
Is that buried in the UI behind paywall and requiring an account?
nope, it’s just the channel url. works with most rss readers.
watching the actual video isnt available, it’s just a chronological feed.
For websites that don’t have an RSS feed, check out RSS-bridge! https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge
It generates web feeds for websites that don’t have one.
A no-install, no-config option I built for this purpose: https://rss.diffbot.com
Interesting, ill try this
yes daddy 🥺
The author of this excellent article mentioned that we and by extension, our friends, all hate being on TwiXter etc. but cant figure out a day to leave or place to go. While I believe the ‘place’ should be figured out amongst yourselves and there are many excellent options getting better by the day, I will do the hard thing and choose a time to make it easier for you/us…

Please be sure to have you destination decided ahead of time. Just like voting, I suggest you do it early and feel free to be a part of the advance team that straddles between the new location while still using the former ahead of the 28th.
I believe in you and know you can do it. Tell your friends. …and you’re welcome :)
edit: RSS is a great tool that will make the move easier
Hasn’t RSS support been dropping these last few years? Last I heard was that RSS was dying, though I don’t know how true that is.
Probably not technically true because podcasts use RSS
But a few make it very hard to find the .rss link… as do platforms like Spotify or Apple.
Any good readers for IOS that don’t require a subscription (preferably FOSS)?
I need an android rss reader that ACTUALLY caches the articles. I use feeder and most of the time it just fetches the titles, I’ve been through every setting. “fetch full articles by default” is on for all of my feeds.
Much of the time, the sites only put a small blurb and a link to the actual article in the feed, so you still have to click through to read it all.
Not sure why you were down voted, thanks for the recommendations!
Kind of not what you’re looking for, but use rss2email to send everything as a mail to a mail address.
I’m more interested in good RSS feeds than RSS readers. Of courseI’ve got all my news in there, but I’m looking to add interesting feeds but don’t know where to look.
What are you interested in? I might suggest you some.
Thanks! I’m into psychology, technology, history and analytics of current affairs (background of conflicts or consequences for the rest of the world). I would love to hear your tips, if you’ve got some good recommendations.
I get a lot of mileage out of The Conversation’s feeds (https://theconversation.com/) – interesting academic-ish essays, written for a lay audience
‘continue without agreeing’

Thanks a lot. Looks real good and added to my feeds

Holy shit, I just drafted a long list as a comment on you and forget to click post.
😓, damn you Jerboa for Lemmy.
I might post the list again later.
Arts and letters daily is great. Overlaps a bit with your interests, though not every day.
Indeed not fully convinced but not bad either. Gonna give this a go, thanks!
Commenting to come back later for recos
I’ve used Feedly for years and it makes keeping with various types of news so much easier.
I recently switched to a self hosted FreshRSS. I used Feedly for probably a decade tho.
Me too. I went Google reader to feedly and have been there since
I kinda gave up on rss awhile ago when it seemed like feed availability was dropping and Google dropped support. Disagree with author that the reader doesn’t matter. It can really shape your experience. Appreciate good recommendation for something that doesn’t cost $2 a month.

This was pretty useful to me.
For android, I use Feeder, but I’ve also enjoyed Cappy, Neo Feed, Twine, and Nunti. Nunti is a really interesting one that uses a local, private smart algorithm to show you more of what interests you.
When Reddit went to shit I turned to RSS to get my daily news. After trying many different iOS apps, all of which either sucked or had a monthly fee, I came across one called feeeed.
It has become one of my favorite apps and I highly recommend it. It’s free and extremely well designed! I believe its creator also works on the Arc browser team.
Thank you for recommendation. Loving it already!
old.reddit still has RSS feeds for subreddits, if there’s anything you still want to follow there. e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/technology.rss
The lemmy community for my city is completely dead, so I follow the subreddit this way.
I’m using News Explorer. One-time purchase, and syncs your feeds and read/unread status between macOS and iOS/ipadOS.
NetNewsWire works great for me.
Hey, thanks… this looks clean/feels really slick.
I definitely recommend turning on List view in the settings. The default card view is okay but it only lets you see 1-2 things at a time vs 5-6.
I use the Feedbro extension right in my browser.
Did you know that, by default, your email sends information to mailing list platforms about your reading activity? The platform gets to know if you opened the message, and often how far along you’ve read in it.
What is this shitty email program they’re talking about? Sure, they can embed a 1-pixel tracking image to see when you opened the email (if you allow auto-loading images), but how would they know how much you’ve read unless some incredibly horrible email program actively sends out that data?
Most made by large corps. For example, Apple got in some hot water not too long ago for changing the way they track in Apple Mail.
Servers track sent, delivered, bounced, and blocked.
Clients phone home with opened, read, CTR, and junk status.Just… wow. I don’t even enable notifications that I’ve opened an email.
Yeah I’ve never heard of that either, and I’ve used email marketing platforms. They have a lot of analytics, but nothing anywhere near that level. (Granted, this was also back in like 2010.)
Love me some RSS.
