An RSS feed is like having someone email you a link everytime they publish something. So you can have a bunch of news outlets all in the same feed (or inbox in the analogy) and have one place for all the content.
I used to use them for research papers. Everytime a paper was published by a journal I had selected, it showed up in the feed.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !canada@lemmy.ca
I fancy myself fairly tech savvy. I managed to figure out this Lemmy thing, lol.
For whatever reason I’ve never really understood how an RSS thing works. I guess I’ve just never been compelled to figure it out.
My main point is that the kinds of people who were/are getting all their news from Meta probably couldn’t figure out RSS either.
Seems like a good idea though. I might have to finally dig in to it.
