Wasn’t sure where to ask this but figured people here host their own rss platforms. I just started with miniflux. Between that and reeder it makes RSS nice and easy.
My issue is that until the 3rd party Reddit nonsense, i let Reddit monopolize my information gathering. To the point I don’t know where else to get info from. Like which websites I can trust that aren’t just bad forms of marketing. Forums and things like that. I don’t know any of them because I spent all my time with Reddit.
Anyone have ideas or suggestions of good rss feeds for people who are interested in tech and programming and gaming and whatnot
Edit: thanks for all the great suggestions. I’m building up a nice RSS stream.
You’re going to have a pleasant surprise, then. :) There are RSS feeds for basically everything, on Github : a repository commits, an issue/pull request activities, a user activities, your social feed (the homepage), project releases, etc. Same for Gitlab. Gitlab even recently added a RSS feed for topics, allowing to get notifications when a project matching given topic is created (example: the feed for 3d printing projects). Too bad they don’t have as much activity than Github.
Oh wow that is cool. I’ve already added a few GitHub projects to my feed. One of my GitHub projects I follow though don’t use GitHub to announce anything sadly. They only use discord.
I wish I could convert certain discord channels to an rss feed. My understanding is it might be possible with a discord bot but I haven’t tried yet.

Thanks! I didn’t even think of checking out GitHub’s RSS! I’ll also check out the other ones you and temp suggested.
