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).
Depends on what you are looking for. Some from the top of my head - only English sources:
Parlement fighting is not something I thought I wanted. Thanks!
That’s exact why I included it here. There are only few happening per year but it’s such a strange topic and somehow fascinating to watch
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.
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.
EDIT: As promised, my list:
note: these are bookmarks, not rss links, because, you know, google reader doesn't exist anymore so I can't just export a thing. Everything on this list had an rss feed back when I bookmarked it. No particular order.
- https://loadingartist.com/
- https://questionablecontent.net/
- https://xkcd.com/
- https://what-if.xkcd.com/
- https://www.blender.org/feed/
- http://loldwell.com/
- http://brawlinthefamily.keenspot.com/
- https://www.awkwardzombie.com/
- https://thegamercat.com/
- https://vgcats.com/
- https://www.spinnyverse.com/
- https://www.exocomics.com/
- https://dresdencodak.com/
- http://metroid2remake.blogspot.com/
- https://www.oglaf.com/ Warning, frequently NSFW.
This list would have been longer, except:
- Shows that I'd use an rss feed to keep track of aren't on their own websites anymore, just youtube (and sometimes nebula or floatplane, or whatever). You didn't ask for youtube channels, so they got cut from the list.
- Some of the comics just don't exist anymore, their sites gone. LoZ Demon Road and Ask Mr Dragmire are notable examples, gone likely for obvious reasons.
- Several NSFW comics that I followed through e621, because google reader could turn their link format into an rss feed, i'm excluding because not actually rss.
- Several minecraft blogs that aren't relevant anymore (like The Word of Notch or Bukkit News)
Imma be looking at other comments for things to add to my list!)
I use Capy Reader. I really love it!
