    What sort of things do people use RSS readers for these days?

      Reading feeds.

      Mostly blogs and videos. Some comics. Some odds and ends like notifications for various things.

      I use it to follow news updates, blogs, updates of apps that I like, some youtube channels and lemmy/reddit communities.
      I’m new to using rss feeds, but it seems to reduce the time to open pages on the browser to check for updates.

      For example:
      Feed with post titles and content from c/ Word of the Day:
      https://lemmy.world/feeds/c/wotd.xml?
      Lemmy has built-in rss feeds.

      I also use the FdroidUpdate subreddit to follow updates. Is there a direct rss feed to follow?

      Notifies me of updates for Jerboa:
      https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa/releases.atom

      The same for PipePipe:
      https://codeberg.org/NullPointerException/PipePipe/releases.rss

      PipePipe displays rss feed urls of yt channels. So I follow some local yt channels.

      https://rss-bridge.org/bridge01/ - Helps to get rss feeds for services/websites that don’t have an rss feed of their own

      News websites like The Guardian and The Hindu(Indian newspaper, not a religious one tho) seem to have rss feeds for specific topics and main pages.
