Reminder: most media outlets still distribute their newsfeed via an RSS link even if it's not visible!

What does it mean? You can combine all of them in a single app (Feeder in F-Droid for android devices is great, look for RSS in your app store otherwise) and doomscroll without adds nor selective algorithm.

How to find the link? While most websites removed then classical RSS "broadcast" logo from their social media banner, it's most usually still possible to get the feed by adding "rss" (if not, try with "feed") to the main URL of the website.

ex: https://mondoweiss.net/rss

What to do with the link? Copypaste it into your reader within the "add link" menu.

Bonus: here's my own list!

If you already do use RSS feeds, what are your favorite medias and readers?

@adalanerd I use Feedly, which runs in a web browser.

To find the URL of the feed on a web site, I generally find it necessary to do a view-source and then search for "atom" or "rss", which is tedious, but Feedly also has a search feature.

I find it far more convenient to find articles that interest me by browsing RSS from this one application than by visiting each site one by one. I'm following about 175 sites, sorted into topical folders, such as News, Food, Tech.
