    Kinda sure this might be known, but Two Bit History is a great blog to read, though new articles do take time. Articles are deep-dives into the history of different technologies and my favorites include one about the rise and fall of RSS, the friend-of-a-friend protocol, and one about JSON and how it’s been adopted everywhere.

    I’m not sure why this three-year-old post is showing up now, but uh, if there are subreddits you still want to use after migrating to Lemmy you can set them up as an RSS feed. It’s so much better and you don’t give their site additional engagement or clicks. You can even click the article link from your RSS reader without ever having to go to Reddit. The only subreddit I still use is for my local metroplex/city, since there’s not enough of my neighbors on the Fediverse yet. But now I can see every post as it comes in so I can keep up to date with what’s going on with where I live and find out about deals and sales.

    You just take the URL for the subreddit and add “.rss” to the end and that’s it.

    Example: “https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditName.rss”

    100r.co is an amazing duo sailing around the world in their solar powered sailboat while making open source tech and art. They make monthly videos and have blog posts

    I use RSS to follow about 90 webcomics and small number of blogs.

    My Favorites woul probably be:

    Dresden Codak /Dark Sience

    Stand Still Stay Silent

    Kill six billion demons

    The Bouletcorp (English translation because my french sucks)

    The Factorio Friday Facts

    And of course the usual XKCD and SMBC but i get the feeling those are already known around here. I’ve thougt about starting a Community for discussing Webcomics on Lemm but I haven’t found the time yet. If anyone would be interested let me know.

    Currently my RSS feed consists of ~1600 feeds and most of them are art accounts on ArtStation, DeviantArt and tumblr, and YouTube channels. I also have regular news, science and tech news, Blender news and blogs, several webcomics (Pepper & Carrot, xkcd, SMBC, Sarah’s Scribbles, etc), some miscelaneous blogs (like Wait But Why, Today I Found Out and Picture Of The Day), lots of FOSS projects blogs and release pages, some art blogs, and many LEGO builders flickr accounts.

    I think that’s about it :grinning face with sweat:

      Perhaps you could share an OPML? Sounds like a wave of deep dives into a bunch of different things, and I’d much rather shamelessly profit off of someone else’s effort than put in the work myself!

        There’s probably a bunch of feeds that don’t work anymore, but most should still work (I don’t think twitter’s work right now).

        I hope it’s useful in a way: https://pastebin.com/C3G18E3t

        PS: there’s a bunch of local newspapers from where I am, and religious blogs that you might care or not. Sorry I didn’t bother to edit it down :grinning face with sweat:

          Awesome, thanks. I’m sure I’ll pare down the stuff that isn’t of interest for me.

          If it were up to me, like 90% of the internet would be people sharing the swaths of obscure content they’ve found and/or curated. Well maybe not 90%, but stuff like RSS feeds and finding obscure creators. And there’s be more interest in sharing at the level of OPMLs and open directories, and huge lists of stuff.

            Yeah, that would be amazing, heh. I’d love if every site with updating content had a rss/atom feed available. I’m really liking using the FeedBro Firefox extension to reed my feeds, since it also supports Instagram :grinning face:

      if there are any particular artists you want to shout out feel free! I’m experimenting with following tumblr accounts via rss for the first time

        I guess it depends on what you like. I very much like Andy Park’s concepts, David Nakayama’s covers, Inhyuk Lee, Daniel Bel’s sculpts (impressive stuff), OVOPACK paintings, Mitch Leeuwe sketches, Jake Park designs, Raichiyo33’s girls, Nikita Veprikov’s renders, Sandara’s dragons, JK Brickworks and nobu_tary’ LEGO builds, and of course, David Revoy paintings (which I mentioned in my previous comment but worth mentioning again). Look up my other comment for a link to the OPML :winking face:

      fair! there are also even fair reasons why people don’t put their content out that way… but I got the vibe that lemmy had some RSSers out there.

          Dedicated instance for feeds? :thinking face:
          Any federated program dedicated to feeds? :thinking face:
