I've been trying to lean back into using RSS again after realizing I shouldn't let the algorithms decide what I see. What RSS feeds do you people follow and why? Any recommendations? Do you tend to follow the RSS feeds of Lemmy as well?

I suggest you add an RSS feed detector to your browser so that you know if the page/site you're viewing has an RSS feed.

Grab them as you go.

Yap, for example RSSHub-Radar works fine for me. Would you share with us any good suggestions, please?

I'm not sure about good suggestions, per se!

I have two on Firefox - I could not choose between them and never deleted the one I favoured - "List Feeds" (updated 2023) and "Want my RSS" (updated 2024). One looks lousy and gives multiple false positives sometimes, but the other doesn't detect so well and looks pretty.

Ironically FF, back in the day, had its own RSS feed detector built in and Moz 'deleted' it because no-one used it.

I haven't looked for replacements in a while. I periodically look for replacements for my add-ons.

A whole bunch, including one that contains this very post. Currently using Feedbro in Firefox.

The eclipsing of RSS by corporate social media is such a tragedy. Obviously there are a number of causes but my personal pet peeve is the name itself. What terrible judgement to brand the thing "RSS"! Only a bunch of out-of-touch geeks could have not foreseen that this awful jargony acronym would strike most people as impossibly technical and foreboding.

It should have been called "webfeed", which is what it is.

I'm interested too (I have a teader, but no feeds), what about a community for sharing RSS feeds?
