I’ve recently (finally) taken the leap into self-hosting my RSS reader, and I’m wondering what feeds everyone’s subscribed to
I’ve currently got some basics like Github releases for software I use, the great selfh.st blog for self-hosted news, hackaday, some essentials like xkcd, and an attempt at following new music releases from artists I like, but I’m sure there are other great feeds out there that I should also be aware of

Theres some more but I think those are the best.
- Security Now.
- The Register
- Sashdot
- Lxer
I also subscribe to the Debian Security Announce email list.
Also using RSS with Youtube now. Muxh better way to follow Youtube channels.
Food safety recalls. Source/relevance would depend on your country. Not sure that it meets the criteria for “great”, but I found it better than hoping that relevant recalls would make it to a new source I read.
That last part is a huge reason why I’m taking RSS more seriously. I don’t want my information to be limited to what happens to get picked up by the news cycle or worse chosen by
the algorithm. I’d much rather get the information from the source. So that definitely meets the criteria :D
Articles:
- Elena Rossini - A staple of the fediverse: https://blog.elenarossini.com/rss/

Uh oh I might be subscribing to all of these! Thank you very much!

They did a good job. Made me think of setting up a similar site someday.

All of the links are from my Fresh RSS. Works great. Ive curated my rss feeds for more than a decade at this point. Theres also services that can create rss feeds for you if you google.
Also Tumbler works with rss as well as royal road (for books).
royal road: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21220/mother-of-learning/ is https://www.royalroad.com/syndication/21220 FreshRss will generally find the rss feeds pretty well if you put the full url in there.
Hope that helps!
