I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I need more general recommendations.

I maintain quite a few packages on Nixpkgs, so I use Atom to subscribe to a release feeds for those projects so I can get a form of notification independent of the project’s code forge (mostly meaning I can spend less time on MS GitHub).

Someone asked this a few days ago. Here's my unfiltered CVS export. Pro-audio, Apple nerdery, geek news, blogs, etc. There are sites in here that have since retired, as pointed out by a user in that thread. I don't get an error by them not publishing, so I haven't bothered to remove them.

Daaaaaamn that's a long list. Saved!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I mostly use it for news, but a lot of sites have RSS even some that do not advertise it.

Whenever I like a site I usually use rss validator and check if their blog/news page have RSS.

Additionally I check endpoints like /rss and /feed.

Not the most concrete answer, but what you subscribe to is highly personal.

P.S. I also use something like https://ktnrs.com/ for websites providing only email newsletter.

Futurism, The Economist, Jacobin , Der Spiegel, 404media, Nature

give me a good rss reader, and I'll give you my list of feeds. I haven't checked on them in years, since google reader shut down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

YT channels

I think you can get rss feeds for them
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id<channel_id>
The channel link has the <channel_id>

e.g.
Link for Boy Boy's Channel https://youtube.com/channel/UC_S45UpAYVuc0fYEcHN9BVQ
Link to rss feed
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC_S45UpAYVuc0fYEcHN9BVQ

I use Capy Reader. I really love it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

i'll check it out, thanks. Posted my list in the original comment.

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

KOReader. You can put it on android or your e-reader and when you sync the feeds it converts them to .epub format

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

i'll check it out, thanks. Posted my list in the original comment.

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

I'm using QuiteRSS and like it a lot. Taskbar applet works with i3 too, which is nice.

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

i'll check it out, thanks. Posted my list in the original comment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Thanks, I love the list

i've actually moved over to feeeed on ios recently and i've really liked it. it has a ton of granular customizations down to even editing the navigation bar itself. would recommend!

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

Not on iOS, but thanks anyway. Posted my list in the original comment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Kottke.org has long been a favorite. Still a favorite, but has started almost exclusively covering political shit. For good reason, but fair warning.

The Lemmy blog, some websites for news , the one for epic free games

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

If you’re looking for a good app to view them Feedly is great

Same question in 20th century: recommend a book.

If you can't see the problem with this question, .. Sheesh! ..nvm.

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

I think the problem is on your end. It’s extremely easy to recommend a book. Watch:

You should read Ancillary Justice.

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

The implicit part of OPs question is ".. that I might want to read.".

The correct answer to OPs question is to provide a full listing of something like feedly's RSS feeds. Millions and millions of them.

This is why one frames a question (gives constraints) so that the answer is immediately useful to the questionnaire.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I don't buy that implicit part. I'm sure they want to find feeds they'd also enjoy, but there is a genuine joy in finding out what other people are into, even if it doesn't all appeal to you.

I take their question at face value.

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

Are you aware that things exist which appeal to wide audiences? That some things are generally liked by most people? I can recommend things like that without having to be aware of your specific tastes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fair point well made.

But let's pretend for a moment that OP has hobbies that are interested in. You may be aware that there are more than a few unusual hobbies manifested as communities here and subs on Reddit.

OP won't get recommendations based on those hobbies, but specific recommendations that everyone likes.

Perhaps OP can help. OP, do you think adding your likes and interests would have helped in obtaining more suitable recommendations?

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

Let's pretend that OP is trying to find things outside their current wheelhouse, or wants to sample from recommendations to try and discover what they like. Not everyone is a fixed point with immutable preferences. Some people actually prefer broad recommendations so they can expand their tastes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

you have the right idea yes.
