Taking a play out of Reddit's recent book: hoard all the valuable insights, commentary, and data that your users provided you free of charge, to sell to the highest bidder for AI training, while blocking the most free and open way of following the topics/interests that those users love.

Forget the Terminator style deathbots, the biggest harm of AI has been all these sites walling up and locking people in/out.

    Wow. In 3 days, it will have been a year since I made this post. Time sure flies. =)

    Ahem The changelog:


    Renamed:

    • Video platforms → Video / Audio streaming platforms

    Added:

    • Flicker, LiveJournal & Substrack to "Other forums/blogs/microblogs"
    • Google News to "News/magazines sites (others)"
    • PixivFE to "Unofficial ones"
    • Standard Ebooks to "Other stores, store-adjacent and catalogue-esque sites"
    • OverClocked ReMix to "Other forums/blogs/microblogs"
    • Waterfox's inbuilt feed detection tool & RSS Launchpad to "RSS search/lookup tools"
    • Soundcloud to "Video / Audio streaming platforms"

    Corrected sorting position:

    • Reddit
    • RSSHub Radar

    Updated entry:

    • [Original] Pixiv - Only for official news from the site. Go to https://www.pixiv.net/info.php and pick the global feed link and/or the subsection links you want from the respective signal icons acting as hyperlinks.

    • [New] Pixiv (official news) - go to https://www.pixiv.net/info.php and pick the global feed link and/or the subsection links you want from the respective signal icons acting as hyperlinks.


    To check / consider / add:

    • Invision-powered forums (apparently you add .xml at the end of their subforums but yet to confirm)
    • When Reddit's killing their RSS feeds (i forgor)
    • If the amount of music and gallery-specific feeds justify splitting them from "Other forums/blogs/microblogs"
    • NicoNico to Video / Audio streaming platforms (I don't remember the patterns)
    • If I should adapt the explanations from https://smorgasborg.artlung.com/feed-patterns/ to the OP, or if linking is fine

    I have considered that! The thing I like about lemmy/reddit though is that I can follow a single RSS feed that dynamically mirrors the communities I follow, so I can just follow things natively on lemmy, and my RSS reader will pick them up.

    I was trying to figure out if Mastodon can do this but I do not think it is a thing 😞.

    I have some time to figure out what I want to do, though. Who knows, maybe I'll just add a few Mastodon hashtags. Thanks for the pointer!

    I’d bet a lot of the valuable content that users freely gave to Reddit were from users who kept up with it all via RSS. Knocking them out of the picture, plus pissing off the old guard with the constant old Reddit removals, is going to shoot themselves in the foot. I’ve noticed a distinct lowering of quality and standards over there since the whole API mess when a lot of classic mods jumped ship over that choice. Seems like they’re well on their way to ruining what they had.

    Hi any suggestions for a RSS feed for me? thanks in advance. I have been using newsflash and RSS gaurd but neither are quite right. My wishlist:

    • I am linux

    I would like EU or opensource/privacy focused

    I am super visual I like something that displays at least a bit of text and ideally a image/thumb

    Has a media player or can at least play video in app. I hate YT and google so prefer to view there an then. (i like recipes and there's a few good chefs i still want to follow).
