Wasn’t sure where to ask this but figured people here host their own rss platforms. I just started with miniflux. Between that and reeder it makes RSS nice and easy.

My issue is that until the 3rd party Reddit nonsense, i let Reddit monopolize my information gathering. To the point I don’t know where else to get info from. Like which websites I can trust that aren’t just bad forms of marketing. Forums and things like that. I don’t know any of them because I spent all my time with Reddit.

Anyone have ideas or suggestions of good rss feeds for people who are interested in tech and programming and gaming and whatnot

Edit: thanks for all the great suggestions. I’m building up a nice RSS stream.

      Bonus tip: You can also filter Hacker News posts on the amount of upvotes/points. For example, this URL will return only the newest posts with a minimum of 200 points. This way, you only get some of the best/most important posts in your feed.

      https://hnrss.org/newest?points=200

        If you don’t want to manually define a particular point threshold, https://hnrss.org/best works pretty great.

        Just wondering if there’s something similar for Lobster.

        Now that’s a „today I learned“ moment for me, improving my feed a lot. Thanks fellow Fedditor!

        So far I simply used a bunch of expressions to filter out certain topics I am not interested in, but didn’t really have a good approach to filter by quality.

      I would add Ars Technica to that list and call it a day.

      For programming I follow YouTube channels of the conferences relevant for my tech stack (YouTube natively supports RSS). They are generally 1 hour talks but it’s a great way to stay up to date.

      Thanks for the suggestions! Hackernews didn’t seem to work. But the rest are good. And I added ars.
