Whoa, so much to browse through. Thanks!

I've been having decent luck adding topics that I like (e.g. Star Trek), but I guess what I'm most curious to find are types of feeds that translate well to RSS. Like, weather alerts, podcasts, webcomics, etc.

Ah, very nice! I've heard you can follow any Mastodon account via RSS too, but I haven't tried that out yet. I'm glad to see RSS is alive and well in the fediverse.

The tags for specific feeds seem to be really important for news sites. I tried adding one without it, and it completely overwhelmed my feed with a billion posts per day. I removed it in less than 24 hrs, lol

Oh, very cool idea! I'm adding the star trek tag now to try it out and may expand from there if I like it. Thanks!

Yeah, that's the guy who measures his nighttime erections and has MRIs done every other week, to name a couple of his fixations. It's a weird way to live, but I have to admit that I'm curious to hear what he's up to every so often.

Oh, I have just the page to test this out on now. Thank you!

This is promising! Thanks.

I'm using Feeder too. I haven't tried any others, but I remember someone on lemmy recommended it once before, and it seems perfectly good to me.

Wow, I should have scrolled back some for these. Thanks.

 

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?

This sounds like a magical place.

I don't believe he's commenting on whether morality is actually absolute or relative, but rather pointing out the irony that those who strongly believe it's subjective are appalled by the seemingly logical consequence that individuals reach different conclusions and disagree.

Lol, it's luck of the draw I guess. I do most of my posting from my phone, so sometimes it looks good enough to me, but probably not on a bigger screen.
