    RSS is one of the oldest protocols existing. Basically it’s like a feed with links to things posted…

    I’d suggest you start with Feedly or Inoreader, make an account and take a look.

    For me, it means that I can see notifications (Inoreader) telling me how many unread items have occurred across the 79 websites I added as feeds.

    • I have a folder for ‘Fediverse’ with feeds like Lemmy - ukraine (also Reddit’s r/ukraine).

    • I have a ‘Linux’ folder, containing a few interesting blogs - like Niccolo’s KDE developer blog, a few news sites, plus announcements from my OS forum.

    • I have a ‘News’ folder with various sources (one is a journalist I know with a Facebook page - as I don’t use Facebook).

    • I have a ‘Video’ folder

    • I have a ‘Time Waster’ folder which has things like Digg, WindowSwap, Drive & Listen

    Basically, any time you make an account and request updates from a website, the same can be done with NO account and simply copying the RSS link.

    It gives you updates on things you don’t need to bother bookmarking or opening to follow.

      I used to have RSS for everything but noticed over the past 10 years or so fewer and fewer places even bother to offer up an official feed. For a while I used 3rd party apps or self hosted scripts to force generate a valid rss feed but eventually gave up. Been 4-5 years now since I’ve logged into my feedly account (which was migrated from google reader, good times).

      I’m still bitter about bloglines shutting down. I tried thisoldreader and inoreader but it never felt the same. Then I found reddit.
