i think youtube still supports rss feeds

i think some channels can turn it off but most don't.

Is that buried in the UI behind paywall and requiring an account?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

nope, it's just the channel url. works with most rss readers.

watching the actual video isnt available, it's just a chronological feed.

OMFG that's actually pretty cool!

For websites that don't have an RSS feed, check out RSS-bridge! https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

It generates web feeds for websites that don't have one.

A no-install, no-config option I built for this purpose: https://rss.diffbot.com

The author of this excellent article mentioned that we and by extension, our friends, all hate being on TwiXter etc. but cant figure out a day to leave or place to go. While I believe the 'place' should be figured out amongst yourselves and there are many excellent options getting better by the day, I will do the hard thing and choose a time to make it easier for you/us....

Please be sure to have you destination decided ahead of time. Just like voting, I suggest you do it early and feel free to be a part of the advance team that straddles between the new location while still using the former ahead of the 28th.

I believe in you and know you can do it. Tell your friends. ...and you're welcome :)

edit: RSS is a great tool that will make the move easier

Hasn't RSS support been dropping these last few years? Last I heard was that RSS was dying, though I don't know how true that is.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably not technically true because podcasts use RSS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

But a few make it very hard to find the .rss link... as do platforms like Spotify or Apple.

Any good readers for IOS that don’t require a subscription (preferably FOSS)?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Twine is a great simple RSS reader and it is open source.

I am currently using NewsBlur because I like how it syncs across devices and its tagging system. It is also open source, but it is not the prettiest and the UX takes some getting used to.
