I Ditched the Algorithm for RSS - and You Should Too

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
How do you all discover new RSS feeds to subscribe to?
Most of the feeds I subscribe to came to me in one of two ways:
Kagi Small Web, personally. Also a lot of people who blog on the Fediverse have RSS feeds, so discovery via Mastodon and such is good too.
Wordpress sites publish an rss feed by default at site.com/rss or site.com/feed, so there's a good chance a site you want an rss feed for has one even if they didn't intend to.
After spending lots of time trying to find feeds, learning this was super helpful
I use an Browser Addon that searches for RSS feeds, still a bit finiky sometimes but still better than manually guessing URLs
That... seems like such an obvious solution lol, I just spend so much time on my phone I forget extensions are a thing unless I'm actively tinkering with my browser
Thank you so much for sharing! I'll go take a look at firefox extensions when I next look for RSS feeds ☺️
My way is simple and stupid. I hit F12, then search for “rss” in the html and copy the link
I use an extension that searches the code on the page to find them. It puts a little number up, then when you click it you can copy the link.
You can set Google alerts for search terms. You'll get articles when they pop up. Apparently I have the same name as a politician in Canada, so I get to keep up with what's going on with that.
