Does anyone here use RSS, and do you have any recommendations for feeds to follow? (lemmy.world)

In an effort to further curate my online experience and try to bring stuff I'm interested in directly to me without all the "noise" and effort that goes with scrolling random sites, I'm late to the party and finally trying out RSS.

I installed a reader, and so far have added some local news, local weather, alerts (e.g. FDA warnings), a few niche blogs, NASA's APOD and news feeds, a couple of comics, and a youtube channel (only got it to work once - it seems buggy for others), a podcast, and now I'm out of ideas.

Do y'all have any favorite feeds that you follow? Or any tips about where to look / types of feeds that might be interesting?

I've been self-hosting an RSS feed reader and have been tying to build up a list of feeds to follow as well. It's been a messy experience so far. Some feeds push WAY to much (like some newspapers, which will push dozens of articles a day). That drowns out some others who post only occasionally (like webcomics). Organizing the feeds seems necessary, and I've done poorly doing that so far.

I've added feeds for technical groups I'm interested in (e.g. https://blog.system76.com/rss.xml)

I find that subscribing to political commentators, bloggers, and local newspapers works best, and trying to find news feeds that allow you to filter by topic (e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/world/rss or https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/rss)
