Hopefully this is a fit for this community (for getting value out of a self-hosted RSS aggregator/reader).

I'm looking for a list of high-value feeds to subscribe to or some alternative ideas to use RSS for in $current_year such as subscribing to a youtube channel without being logged in/directly using the frontend.

in $current_year

Is that a joke or a bot?

Regardless I use Newsflash RSS for this stuff and more:

  • Lemmy
  • News - Tech, Global, Local
  • Podcasts
  • Youtube Channels
  • Recipes
  • Friends' Blogs
  • Niche Topics

    I'm surprised to see so much response to that bit. I feel like I've seen that on forums or newsboards for a long time for any question relating to something that can be repurposed after some amount of time. Really just a stand-in forsomething that's likely been asked before.

    For good reason. For years bots have been making Reddit posts just to farm for content for YouTube videos or market research

    Is that a thing that happens from small instances in the fediverse? I'd assume those instances would be defederated pretty quickly if they weren't actually using the bot flag on accounts.

    Oh yes it’s a thing, to a lesser extent than Reddit though obviously. In order for anything to be done about it though, the bot accounts usually have to do something that betrays the fact that they’re bot accounts though. Such as accidentally passing through a variable instead of the value, such as with your post. Hence why you will see people question you
