A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How do you find RSS feeds that you're interested in? (normalcity.life)

I'd like to take my RSS feeds from an aggregator of news to a curated selection of interesting things. Interesting newsletters and blogs are where I think RSS shines, but I struggle to find this content.

What do you do to find these kinds of RSS feeds?

The way I find feeds is fairly simple:

  1. Browse Lemmy/Hacker News/Reddit or just let friends send me articles.
  2. When I find an interesting article check the feed and see if the topics seem interesting.
  3. If it seems somewhat interesting subscribe.

I tend to subscribe fairly easily, if it looks like it may be interesting I add it. But I am also fairly quick to unsubscribe if I find that I am not enjoying a feed.

This isn't the fastest system but does build up a collection of interesting feeds over time. And if you are starting from scratch you can just lower your "interesting" threshold to subscribe to more quicker, then as your collection grows and grows in quality you can prune them.
