Thought it might be interesting to share, so below it goes.
Feel free to suggest any more!
RSS search/lookup tools
- RSS Finder - site for looking for feeds.
- RSS Lookup - the site looks up for feeds in the page that loads by the link the user provides, and as a bookmarklet looks up for feeds in the current tab.
- RSSHub Radar - browser extension that tries to find RSS links in pages currently being looked at.
- Waterfox's inbuilt feed detection tool - If it can detect a feed (which can be spotty currently), a signal icon will appear next to the favorites (star) icon on the address bar. To get the link, click on it, then on "Full preview", then copy the link under "Feed URL".
Unofficial ones
- General RSS bridges - FetchRSS, Open RSS, RSS-Bridge, RSSHub
- RSS bridge for Twitch - TwitchRSS.
- RSS bridges for Twitter - Nitter, which has multiple independent instances; example 1, example 2, example 3. Append
/rssto the end of a profile's base link or get the link directly from the RSS button in the top right.
- RSS bridge for newsletters - Kill the Newsletter!
- RSS bridge for select sites without native feeds - RSS愛好会
- ComicCaster - site that makes RSS feeds from various comics sources.
RSS Bridges for Pixiv - PixivFE - instance list | post I made
Fediverse instances
- Akkoma users - Get the profile link and add
/feed.atomat the end, e.g.https://labyrinth.zone/users/caretakerbecominghttps://labyrinth.zone/users/caretaker/feed.atom
- Lemmy - At the top of any given community, copy the link from the RSS feed button to the side of the filter and sorting options. Lemmy only hosts local feeds, so getting the link of e.g. an
ani.socialcommunity throughlemmy.worldwill grant you anani.socialfeed, not alemmy.worldbridge.
- Mastodon tags - Go to the page of a given tag, e.g.
https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse, and add.rssto the end of the link, so in the example,https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse.rss. Unlike users (see right below), tag RSS tracks external posts.
- Mastodon users - Go to the main page of a given profile, e.g.
https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon, and add.rssto the end of the link, so in the example,https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon.rss. Akin to Lemmy, only tracks local profiles.
- Mbin - Each feed (list of posts) has an RSS feed at the bottom of the sidebar, in the
RSShyperlink right abovePowered by Mbin. Allows tracking remote communities too, and after an update, added the possibility of tracking threads, microblog, both at the same time, and domains (and yet to check if users too).
- Misskey - Same as Mastodon, add
.rssto the end of a profile's base link. Allows tracking remote profiles.
- Mitra users - In the interface, click the 3 dots above "Follow" and copy the link from the "Atom feed" button. Alternatively, to get the same feed, get the link of the account and replace
@forfeeds/users/, e.g.https://mitra.social/@weekinfediverse→https://mitra.social/feeds/users/weekinfediverse.
- NodeBB - for categories, simply add
.rssto the end of the link (e.g.https://billboard.bsd.cafe/category/5.rss); for topics, remove anything past the topic ID and append.rss, e.g.https://billboard.bsd.cafe/topic/4.rssforhttps://billboard.bsd.cafe/topic/4/welcome-to-the-freebsd-section.
- Peertube channels - for one of the feed variants, in a given channel's main page, click on the arrow to the side of the "Subscribe" button, and in the dropdown menu, get the RSS link from "Subscribe via RSS"; for the other variants, when available, in the same page, look for "Subscribe to RSS feed" (ctrl f if you can't find), and get the format you want from the RSS icon's dropdown menu to the right. Unfamiliar how Peertube handles remote profiles.
- Peertube users - go to the user's page, https://{domain_name}/a/{user_id}/video-channels, click on "Subscribe to all channels" and click or right-click "Subscribe via RSS".
- PieFed - In a given community, get the RSS link from the
RSS feedhyperlink in the sidebar. Allows tracking remote communities.
- Bandwagon - With a profile's link, e.g.
https://bandwagon.fm/@some_user, add/feed?format=atom,/feed?format=rssor/feed?format=jsonat the end of the link, whichever you prefer. Alternatively, go to the page's source (on Gecko browsers, e.g. Firefox, Ctrl U or by addingview-source:to the beginning of links), look for the links with/feed?format=, and get the link or links you want/need.
Fediverse bots
- RSS Parrot - Used to generate bots on the fediverse from RSS feeds. Instructions on the site. Works on Mastodon but not on Mbin, and unaware of compatibility to other microblogging-capable softwares. With the bot created, follow it through some Misskey instance and get Misskey's RSS for it as explained in the "Fediverse instances" section above.
- @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy / Bluesky counterpart - Bluesky-Fediverse bridge. Instructions on the bot's bio. Accounts bridged to Bluesky can be followed through Bluesky's native RSS for profiles, and accounts bridged to the fediverse can be followed using Misskey's RSS for profiles, as explained respectively in the sections "Other forums/blogs/microblogs" and "Fediverse instances".
- Fediverse instance for RSS bots, Ibbit, successor of Pondercat (RIP) - Meta community (@meta@ibbit.at) used (also) for requesting new feeds to be tracked, according to its sidebar. Once included, users can have fediverse-provided RSS feeds through Lemmy, Mbin, Piefed and Misskey, as explained in the Fediverse section above.
- Linux APT package feed2toot: Ubuntu Packages link. From the description, "automatically parses rss feeds, and posts entries to the fediverse".
- Lemmit (instance) - Reddit to Lemmy crossposting instance. See Lemmy's entry on the "Fediverse instances" section above.
- Lemmit (software) - What powers the Lemmit instance's crossposting bot.
- rss-lemmy-bot - Another software for making RSS-posting bots.

- VGMdb (forums) - Need to check again, but previously could only find some feeds through the page's source (on Gecko browsers, e.g. Firefox, Ctrl U or by adding
view-source:to the beginning of links).
Other sites that have feeds due to their underlying engines
- Both Blogger and Livedoor (ライブドアブログ)-powered sites - Go to the page's source, e.g. Gecko's Ctrl U or
view-source:, and look for the feed links right afterrss+xmlandatom+xmlmentions (two different types of feeds, so pick the one/ones you want/need).
- Discourse-powered forums (e.g. RetroPie's, and these forums look kinda the same) - forum categories and posts both have a (small) RSS button, the former to the side of the category's name at the top, and the latter to the side in the statistics right below the post's name at the top.
- Wordpress-powered sites - By default include RSS options for new posts and comments in their source codes, so Gecko's Ctrl U or
view-source:again.
Steam (community, store, etc.), because it has an excessive amount of feeds
