What are some good RSS feeds to subscribe to?

Not this one for me https://social.network.europa.eu/@EU_Commission. It always gives me an error "Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String java.lang.String.toString()' on a null object reference"

I've had trouble doing this for bot accounts hosted on sportsbots.xyz. Not actually sure if it's possible with them or not as you can't access their feeds from that site.

For instance, I use mastodon.world and can access Fabrizio Romano's feed via mastodon.world/@[email protected] - but adding .rss on the end doesn't seem to work, nor does sportsbots.xyz/@FabrizioRomano.rss

Every Subreddit works the same way as well.

So does every Tumblr blog! Just add /RSS to the end of the URL in question. This also works in conjunction with other link modifiers like tags so for example if you want to follow an artist on Tumblr and only see their work and not anything they reblog, or you only want to see stuff from a certain fandom.

Keep in mind that this only works with blog links that look like [blog].Tumblr.com or [blog].com, not tumblr.com/[blog]. it also doesn't capture tags which is kinda half of tumblr's main form of interaction, but I think if you're interested in that you're the sort of person who actually uses Tumblr and doesn't just want to keep tabs on one or two artists you really like. Then again that could actually just be an interface thing and an actual RSS feed reader would show them as opposed to my kinda jank thunderbird setup

(I think you can also do this the other way around and turn RSS feed updates into Tumblr posts using like IFTTT, but I have questions for you if you're doing that for something that isn't an update blog)

...or you could wait and see if automattic ever does good on their promise to add activitypub integration into Tumblr.

I also set up miniflux yesterday haha, good timing

Regarding using RSS, Inoreader is my favorite recommendation. Here's a blog post explaining how to get started: https://www.inoreader.com/blog/2022/01/inoreader-tutorial.html

Regarding discovering content - RSS is more about finding something you're interested in and then adding the RSS feed to your reader. It's pretty manual rather than fed by an algorithm. You'll find some good content tips in this thread.

I second this hard, I'd use RSS if i had any idea how, or what content was out there

https://www.inoreader.com is great. Love it.

If you're willing to look into self-hosted options, FreshRSS is great. I also know of Tiny Tiny RSS but I haven't used it myself.

A self-hosted instance of https://github.com/miniflux/v2. After trying several other options over the years, I settled with this one.

Have been using Feedly for 10 years, very happy with it.

Read you on fdroid

Thunderbirds RSS support is really great. Here’s a list of good self hosted apps if you’d rather go that route: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#feed-readers

That's a wide open topic, but for self-hosted I use FreshRSS with Full Text RSS coupled to it to get the full text of feeds. For desktop, I like cross-platform open-source Fluent Reader (just did a video about it today in fact) - again because it pulls in full text and can still sync reading progress across devices through multiple services inc FreshRSS, Nextcloud, and others.
