Perviously I doomscrolled a lot on website which shall not be named. Now that it’s gone (for me) I recognize that I like it a lot better without.

To waste/spend my time in the future I try to subscribe consciously to interesting things with low signal to noise ratio. So what are your favourite RSS feeds you are subscribed?

I am interested mostly in tech and green things.

    If you haven’t already, subscribing to the hackernews RSS feed seems to cover most news stories in the tech space.

        “best” is good, frontpage is fine too. you can also subscribe to specific search results, that’s what I do

    Hey, are you me?!

    I came to the same conclusion. I’ve been using Reeder on MacOS. So many feeds these days do not have full content but the Reeder app can be configured to pull all of the text (minus some of the images).

    Anyway, these have been my favorite feeds categorized by interest:

    • The Atlantic and Wired for Culture
    • Ars Technica, The Verge, VGC, IGN, Push Square for Gaming
    • Torrent Freak for Piracy
    • Wired for Science
    • The Verge for Crypto
    • The Verge, Wired for AI
    • Hacker News (frontpage with 250 point minimum), The Atlantic for Technology
    • 9to5Mac for Apple

    You’ll notice that some sites show up multiple times but that is because I subscribe to sub-feeds for my categories of interest.

        I tried RSS for coindesk and cointelegraph but it was just a flood of hourly crypto movements and such. I wanted something a little more “big picture” haha.

    Ha! I am currently subscribed to 357 RSS/Atom feeds, at least some of which are English-speaking and technology-related. However, “tech” is a too broad term to give good recommendations.

    You should get into Personal websites’ RSS feeds. I recommend checking #100DaysToOffload if you have Mastodon or similar, they are pretty much small blogs done by people just trying to write about stuff, nothing too serious, but entertaining

    Do you use Feedly for an RSS reader experience? I’ve been using that since it first started, and it’s one of the apps I use the most.

    This is what my tech news folder looks like: Ars Technica broadbandreports.com Engadget Y Hacker News: Best MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors NYT > Technology TechCrunch The Verge Xbox Wire

    Find some interesting blogs and subscribe to those. The ones that don’t try to churn out content every day are the best. They only post when they have something interesting.

    I assume you mean high signal to noise ratio. :p

    As people mentioned, the hacker news RSS feed for the top posts is a good start. It exposes you to insightful posts from personal blogs, and you can then follow those people.

    Believe me, you’ll soon have a well populated RSS feed reader.
