No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That was my reason for asking. I don't know anything about RSS for torrenting. But usually people asking, I want something for 'other purposes'... it means either pirating things or lewd stuff. 😉 But this isn't the case here.
Back in the day, I've used RSS and Atom feeds for my favorite 10 news sites and 20-30 blogs I was reading regularly. The way I got those feeds was: I'd go to my favorite websites and have a look in the top right of the page or at the bottom, and they'd link their feed somewhere. I think at some point firefox had a feature to show some kind of symbol in the location bar, when a site had a feed.
But times have changed. Websites stopped having RSS feeds. RSS readers vanished. And no one writes proper blogs anymore. Maybe a trending story on medium.com Recently I've seen influencers advertise their newsletter... Which is a way more medieval thing in my eyes.
I've stopped because I was reading too much news and articles and wasting too much time. But I'm still using it for podcasts and maybe I'm going to pick it up again. My consumption of media has changed anyways. Today, I waste my time on Lemmy. And read news here. But I have heard the word 'RSS' come up more often nowadays. Seems to be on the rise again. But I wouldn't know how people use it as of today.
