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've gotten good mileage out of the "Get RSS Feed URL" extension on Firefox, especially when I'm unfamiliar with the site's underlying software and can't guess the feed URL.

I use elfeed on Emacs as my reader, and follow friends' blogs as well as sites relevant to my interests:

History

Pasts Imperfect feed (liberationist antiquities newsletter): https://pasts-imperfect.ghost.io/rss/
The History Girls feed (women writing about history): https://the-history-girls.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Archaeology News feed: https://archaeologymag.com/feed/

Books/writing

Writer Unboxed feed (writing craft and meta): https://writerunboxed.com/feed/
Authors Publish feed (publishing opportunities): https://authorspublish.com/feed
American Indians in Children's Literature feed: https://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
