Yeah Google never wanted RSS feeds to really be a thing.
Edit: fixed link my bad
These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer.
How is it “safer” when contributing to the codebase or filing and discussing issues will now require creating an account and giving up personal information to one of the most privacy-invasive tech companies in the world? 😳
We’re talking about instances having feed content for other instances (on totally different domains), so anything helping with this case would be a “third party service”.
You can use openrss.org RSS feeds. They are there for this exact purpose. For example, you can get an RSS feed of /c/retrogaming .ml
by going to https://openrss.org/programming.dev/c/retrogaming@lemmy.ml. Then all links in the feed will always go to the post on programming.dev instance.
Totally understand! Social media and the constant flow of information in our feeds can be so detrimental to our mental health. If you do consider coming back, RSS feeds may be better for you. They allow you to control your sources, how frequently you see content, and you can even filter things easily. It’s just like any normal feed on any website, but you can add different websites and sources to it and it just gives you way more control over your level of consumption online. Here’s a good article about how RSS feeds help with our mental health if you’re curious. Always put your health before all else, and wishing you all the best!

I use AllSides as my main news source for federal news. Give them a try. The writing is succinct and gets straight to the point.
They give you news of the day in small chunks separated by topic. Each topic has a quick context, run down of what’s happening, and (my favorite) how the left right and center outlets are all covering it.
They also have an RSS feed (provided by Open RSS because they dont serve their own feeds. https://openrss.org/allsides.com
