John, I somewhat agree with your preference for RSS over the social feed. Personally, I use Granary to actually bring Mastodon into my feed. For me, this allows me to become less of a slave to the ever current stream. I sometimes wonder though if this is bad faith as I assume I am not nessecarily following the rules on the packet, this can mean engaging in conversations out of time.

I really like the look and feel of Phil Gyford’s directory. I keep my own directory on my website, I wonder about presenting this OPML in a similar format?
Chris Aldrich (boffosocko.com)In the recent Twitter Migration, in addition to trying out Mastodon, Iโve been seeing some people go back to blogs or platforms like Micro.blog, WordPress, Tumblr, WriteFreely (like Mastodon itโs a part of the Fediverse, but built for blogging instead of short posts) and variety of others. They?…
Sorry, late to getting to this piece Chris, as I get to my feeds in my own time. I have long lived a feed first existence. Even when engaging with Twitter, I have been consuming via my feed reader. I just realised that I can also produce a feed for Mastodon too using Granary.io. I sometimes feel like I am late to the conversation, however on the flip side I feel that the conversation is more in hand. I feel that if it is worth having then waiting is fine.
I really like the search suggestions. Personally, I use Granary to follow, but really like customising the feed by kind as well as people.
A simple bookmarklet to find the RSS feed for a YouTube channel. On a YouTube channelโs page, like this one, tap the bookmarklet and youโll be redirected to its RSS feed.
I remember reading about how to capture the YouTube feed, but always found it cumbersome. Colin Devroe’s bookmarklet makes it all so much easier. I really should make more of an effort to collate my feeds reclaim my YouTube consumption.
Alec, I admit it is not necessarily optimal, could you possibly use either IMPORTFEED or IMPORTXML in Google Sheets and embed the sheet in the Google Site as an RSS Feed? Here is an example you could easily adapt and embed.
Inspired by Web Rings from the 90s, I created a tool for serendipitous discovery of blogs called RSS Discovery Engine. Similar to how web rings work, I make the assumption that interesting blogs will tend to link to other related blogs, and therefore, linked blogs are likely to also be interesting.
With RSS Discovery Engine, Brandon Quakkelaar provides another potential for serendipity and possibly rewilding attention.
So, you wanted to follow this nice website for new content, but it doesnโt have an RSS feed yet? Donโt worry, because Inoreader got you covered, again! Introducing Web feeds
Whenever you see a web page with a series of updates, be it news articles, blog posts, classifieds, product updates, weath…
Inoreader provide the means to turn any website into a RSS feed. My only concern with this is the dependancy on Inoreader, but it does make the process a lot easier. I created a feed for Double J. What disappoints me thought is that a site like www.abc.net.au used to fully embrace RSS. I do not get why they walked away from this?

The commercial economy might rely on data, tracking and surveillance โ though I still think it could do just fine without it โ but the email newsletter boom shouldn’t.
I initially followed you via email as a subscriber, but in recent times I have unsubscribed and started following via RSS. I am intrigued how that information is gathered?
What are you using for RSS reader? I find that when I use an RSS reader, I’m more likely to focus on content than flit around via social media.
Miguel, I use Inoreader. I like the ability to subscribe to a feed that I store on my own site.
I didnโt really like how Feedly organised the various categories and always found it tedious to backup my OPML to share with others. The answer is to subscribe to an OPML Feed stored in the links of a WordPress site, rather than upload a static file.
Maybe 2021 will be the year in which we all easily become owners of our own domain and find and maintain our own network from that own domain. Indeed, exactly as is now possible on Twitter and other social media. Reclaim some ownership of our data, thanks to RSS’s underlying pipelines. I like that.
Jeremy Cherfas (stream.jeremycherfas.net)One of the stranger aspects of RSS feeds is when a long dormant site springs back into life. Usually, I’m glad. This time, I’m not sure what to make of the fact that Freakonomicsbook.com is now in the hands of someone else.
I remember this happening recently when a domain used by an educator was taken over by a furniture store. It is a strange experience.
This is a great resource. Makes me want to tinker around more in this area.
Thank you for the tip Chris. Jeff’s guide is really useful in extended the possibilities of the feed. Personally, I have been thinking about the possibilities of creating an alternative feed for Micro.Blog without the heading.
From Pointcast to Microsoft to Netscape to the NY Times, there were lots of inspirations behind RSS.
Can you please let me know where you found this post?
I usually read your posts via RSS (

About (danq.me)I use the Post Kinds plugin to streamline the management of the different types of posts I make on my blog, based on the IndieWeb post types list: articles, like this one, are โconventionalโ blog posts, but I also publish notes (which are analogous to โtweetsโ), reposts (โsharesโ of thin…
This is a really interesting idea. One of my itches has been to automate the insertion of emojis into the title of posts. This might help in making sense how I might be able to do it.
Get websites and RSS Feeds of the people you follow on Twitter. Import the OPML-file with your favorite feedreader. Examples: Feedly, Inoreader Tiny Tiny RSS, NewsBlur.
An alternative to Granary, which breaks accounts into individual feeds.
