RSS - Really Simple Syndication

I recently made a post looking for an RSS feeder with some sort of intelligent content surfacing system, and have just stumbled upon exactly that. All analysis is local and so far seems to be quite good.

FDroid: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.nunti/

Does anybody have any recommendations for FOSS RSS readers with actual content surfacing features? So many RSS feeds are full of junk (this is particularly a problem with feeds with wildly disparate posting frequencies) and I've always felt they'd be a lot more useful if people were putting more effort into a modern way to sort through extremely dense feeds.

EDIT: Actually just stumbled on one for mobile. Check out Nunti on android (https://gitlab.com/ondrejfoltyn/nunti)

May be a dumb question but are there any one in the same fediverse and rss readers in one for android?

I use Inoreader and I've noticed that the RSS feed for lemmy.ml has proper thumbnails/previews for images while the lemmy.world feed doesn't show any images (just links for the posted images). I contacted Inoreader to see if the problem was on their end. I received the following feedback:

Actually, we've already checked that, but unfortunately, we couldn't improve the image preview for the exmapled feeds. The thing is that the provided links to these images are not properly presented in the feed source, which is causing that. We suggest you address this with the feed publishers.

What settings need to be changed so that the images are "properly presented"?

FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS and Atom feed aggregator.
In my experience, it has been great for staying updated on news and managing a significant portion of my social media, including video sharing platforms like PeerTube, Odysee etc :-)

They are working again in different URLs:
https://anto-finnstark.artstation.com/rss

The old ones don’t work for me:
~~https://www.artstation.com/anto-finnstark.rss~~

See previous post: ArtStation RSS Feeds broken - lemm.ee

EDIT: They are working again in different URLs:
https://anto-finnstark.artstation.com/rss

The old ones don't work for me:
~~https://www.artstation.com/anto-finnstark.rss~~

EDIT-2: It seems that openrss has added ArtStation feeds too:
(Thanks to @[email protected] for noticing).

e.g. https://openrss.org/artstation.com/patrick_ganas

ArtStation RSS Feeds stopped working a few days ago. Probably along with the recent UI changes, although I am not 100% sure.

I sent an email to [email protected] asking if it's a bug or an intentional change. I haven't got an answer yet.

I'm posting it here to let people know and just in case anyone has more info... or some alternative. I don't see ArtStation featured in the usual services: openrss.org, RSSHub.

EDIT: There is hope. An ArtStation post from 15h ago appeared on my RSS reader. The RSS Feed still doesn't work, but this should mean feeds are not 100% dead.

Behance

Behance's autodiscoverable RSS Feeds do not work*, u/gurkoz found that there are working hidden feeds:

"https://www.behance.net/feeds/user?username=" + behanceUserName

Example for user bernhardlang:
https://www.behance.net/feeds/user?username=bernhardlang

* All Behance profile pages show the same RSS Feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/behance/vorr) which, although it looks like the feed for the user vorr, it contains posts from all users. I find it useful for discovering new artists.

DeviantArt

DeviantArt doesn't have RSS autodiscovery but they have RSS Feeds. From their documentation):

"https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?type=deviation&q=by%3A" + deviantArtUsername + "+sort%3Atime+meta%3Aall"

Example for user loish:
https://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?type=deviation&q=by%3Aloish+sort%3Atime+meta%3Aall

Do you know of other sites with hidden RSS feeds?

TL;DR: The Times (UK) no longer provides RSS Feeds, Open RSS does.

Content summary:

• Google removes RSS button from Chrome browser
• Google acquires FeedBurner and limits RSS
• Google shuts down Google Reader
• Google removes RSS from Google Alerts
• Google kills its RSS browser extension
• Google removes RSS integration from Google News
• Google's still at it...

Is it possible to have an RSS feed for Artstation or DeviantArt or maybe other art websites that is filtered by a search term?

For example if I wanted to search/filter for "spaceship" and I wanted to get an RSS feed of all new artworks that would be found by that search term.

Can this be done? I'm pretty new to RSS feeds

very good self-hosted RSS reader

for example if I need to find the rss feed of lwn.net I can search feed:lwn.net to get the result https://lwn.net/headlines/rss, you can also use duckduckgo but it includes irrelevant results for some reason, it should also work in searx.

I usually use a feed reader to gather news, but some news sites use newsletters instead of distributing feeds. As a user, is there any advantage to receive news using newsletters over feeds?

I know the Email isn't everyone's favourite RSS reader but it works really well for me. I wasn't happy with any of the existing services so I started my own.

https://feedmail.org is a low-cost RSS-to-Email service with nice clean templates. I'm happy to answer any questions.

I use RSS feeds and mpv to watch YouTube without visiting youtube.com. This post shows how you can configure mpv to use yt-dlp instead of the abandoned youtube-dl.
