Blog or otherwise. Bonus points if it isn’t technology.
I’m not sure why this three-year-old post is showing up now, but uh, if there are subreddits you still want to use after migrating to Lemmy you can set them up as an RSS feed. It’s so much better and you don’t give their site additional engagement or clicks. You can even click the article link from your RSS reader without ever having to go to Reddit. The only subreddit I still use is for my local metroplex/city, since there’s not enough of my neighbors on the Fediverse yet. But now I can see every post as it comes in so I can keep up to date with what’s going on with where I live and find out about deals and sales.
You just take the URL for the subreddit and add “.rss” to the end and that’s it.
Example: “https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditName.rss”
I use RSS to follow about 90 webcomics and small number of blogs.
My Favorites woul probably be:
The Bouletcorp (English translation because my french sucks)
And of course the usual XKCD and SMBC but i get the feeling those are already known around here. I’ve thougt about starting a Community for discussing Webcomics on Lemm but I haven’t found the time yet. If anyone would be interested let me know.
Kinda sure this might be known, but Two Bit History is a great blog to read, though new articles do take time. Articles are deep-dives into the history of different technologies and my favorites include one about the rise and fall of RSS, the friend-of-a-friend protocol, and one about JSON and how it’s been adopted everywhere.
this is phenomenal! I’d never heard of this before! I’m going to go ahead and post a couple of these as well as subscribe. thanks for the rec!
Happy to have contributed to this community. :)
My feeds mostly consist of local news, web comics and some random blogs and podcasts.
These are some of the most relevant/active:
comics
- Lackadaisy cats
- Monkeyuser
- Randowis
- Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
- And the almighty xkcd
tech
Found today an cool self-hosted RSS Aggregator: https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS
Maybe it is interesting for somebody!
I use the one in Nextcloud (holla at /c/nextcloud), also self-hosted :)
I use this for webs that don’t have RSS/Atom feeds: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge
Here are a few public hosts (kinda hard to find, only mentioned in the wiki section)
I just started using RSS a couple of weeks ago. It’s been a great experience so far. I don’t have as many recommendations as others, but this is what I have:
- Gamasutra’s Expert Blogs
- Nachrichtenleicht * This one has been great to practice my german skills a little bit.
- Schneier on Security
I’ll keep an eye for any other good feeds :b
Currently my RSS feed consists of ~1600 feeds and most of them are art accounts on ArtStation, DeviantArt and tumblr, and YouTube channels. I also have regular news, science and tech news, Blender news and blogs, several webcomics (Pepper & Carrot, xkcd, SMBC, Sarah’s Scribbles, etc), some miscelaneous blogs (like Wait But Why, Today I Found Out and Picture Of The Day), lots of FOSS projects blogs and release pages, some art blogs, and many LEGO builders flickr accounts.
I think that’s about it :grinning face with sweat:
Perhaps you could share an OPML? Sounds like a wave of deep dives into a bunch of different things, and I’d much rather shamelessly profit off of someone else’s effort than put in the work myself!
There’s probably a bunch of feeds that don’t work anymore, but most should still work (I don’t think twitter’s work right now).
I hope it’s useful in a way: https://pastebin.com/C3G18E3t
PS: there’s a bunch of local newspapers from where I am, and religious blogs that you might care or not. Sorry I didn’t bother to edit it down :grinning face with sweat:
Awesome, thanks. I’m sure I’ll pare down the stuff that isn’t of interest for me.
If it were up to me, like 90% of the internet would be people sharing the swaths of obscure content they’ve found and/or curated. Well maybe not 90%, but stuff like RSS feeds and finding obscure creators. And there’s be more interest in sharing at the level of OPMLs and open directories, and huge lists of stuff.
