Does anyone here use RSS, and do you have any recommendations for feeds to follow? (lemmy.world)

In an effort to further curate my online experience and try to bring stuff I'm interested in directly to me without all the "noise" and effort that goes with scrolling random sites, I'm late to the party and finally trying out RSS.

I installed a reader, and so far have added some local news, local weather, alerts (e.g. FDA warnings), a few niche blogs, NASA's APOD and news feeds, a couple of comics, and a youtube channel (only got it to work once - it seems buggy for others), a podcast, and now I'm out of ideas.

Do y'all have any favorite feeds that you follow? Or any tips about where to look / types of feeds that might be interesting?

I have a few hundred feeds across topics that I’ve collected over the years, but I’m gonna guess you don’t want to see my entire OPML. Want to share some topics you’re into? That should help recommendations a lot

Also, a general tip: Most decent feed readers can sniff out a feed if you paste a website into their search box. Next time you’re surfing the regular web and find a site you like, try tossing it into your reader to follow it from then on

I've been having decent luck adding topics that I like (e.g. Star Trek), but I guess what I'm most curious to find are types of feeds that translate well to RSS. Like, weather alerts, podcasts, webcomics, etc.
