So reddit is turning RSS off on Nov 13..

If you follow subs in a reader: most big subs have a lemmy community with the same name, and every lemmy community has its own public feed, no account needed. The format is https://lemmy.world/feeds/c/selfhosted.xml?sort=New (swap in the community name, and the server after the @ if it isn't lemmy.world).

I built a small finder so you don't have to hunt them one by one: type a sub, it shows the matching lemmy communities, subscriber counts, whether they're actually active, and the feed link to paste into your reader. Free, no account: https://muuted.com/reddit-rss-ending/ . If a sub has no lemmy version it says so instead of guessing.

GBAtemp's new News section got a feed from the get-go!

#GBAtemp #rss #rssfeeds

Earlier today, they made a post announcing the change, and why they did it (tl;dr: previous News section wasn't well SEO for Google because it was built on top of their forum software).

Checking the new page, under the page title, one of the very first buttons that may be spotted is the RSS feed button, even before the Telegram one and the one related to the reason of the change, as shown in the attached image.

Happy to see they still care. =)

Forgejo v17 just shipped with RSS/Atom support for issue and pull request discussions.

This should make it easier to follow discussions since it doesn’t require an account for each instance.

From https://www.reddit.com/r/rss/comments/yjxb7u/convert_google_news_link_to_rss_feed/

From The Verge: "Reddit will stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13th"

#Reddit claims that "RSS is 'now a common surface for large-scale scraping and automated abuse'."

Sauce: https://www.theverge.com/tech/1002788/old-reddit-ai-scraping

Maybe some frontend will add #RSSfeeds now, if there isn't any already?

Still, sounds to me like either, or both, a scapegoat and an engineered problem they now harvest the exact fruits they wanted from.

Politiet.no appears to have removed their feed about 5 months ago

#rssfeeds

The RSS Parrot bot (@[email protected]) hasn't had any updates since then, their site now gives only their Google Play & ITunes as options, and the direct feed link, https://api.politiet.no/politiloggen/v1/rss, errors out with a "secure connection failed" message.

A shame tbf. It was a nice source of training reading for the language. And I can't help but wonder how much their apps monitor the user.

The OP gives an example of a working feed, https://news.google.com/rss/search?q=devops, but notes that Google rewrites all the URLs for tracking.

And while from my experience people are aware of that, I think it's worth also noting:

Though a tool is still a tool, Google has a history of enshittification, EEE and shadownbans, so if using their news site's RSS, it may be a good idea to proceed with caution and to have alternatives set for redundancy.

Pixiv Atom feed through the PixivFE frontend

Had mostly dropped #Pixiv given it not having a good UX, but learned recently of a frontend for it, PixivFE, which also has #Atom compatibility! This should help a lot, with being able to go straight to the posts, there being an overlap of artists between Pixiv and other platforms, and Nitter being in a limbo while the author can't revert Twitter's C&D.

The most direct option is to go to a specific tab and copy the link from the feed icon, but I haven't dug around what changes between each feed variant (their links change slightly for Home, Illustrations, Bookmarks, etc.).

Removing the contents after the ? of a given feed also seems to work, though also not sure what changes for it either. But if willing to try this variant, and using the pixiv.perennialte.ch instance for the example, generically you pick an user's page, https://pixiv.net/users/some_numeric_ID, and convert to https://pixiv.perennialte.ch/users/some_numeric_ID/atom.xml.

Apparently there is still a functional Nitter RSS, though no frontend and requires being whitelisted at Xcancel

#Nitter #RSS #RSSfeeds

Found through this article in Spanish.

In short, get the link for a given profile, e.g. https://x.com/NASA, replace x.com for rss.xcancel.com, and append /rss at the end, so it becomes https://rss.xcancel.com/NASA/rss. The article also notes that the domain for posts a given feed pulls need to be replaced by x.com (or, since the redirect is still active, twitter.com).

Also, when trying to add a feed for the first time, the feed will say "RSS reader not yet whitelist! Please send an email rss [AT] xcancel [DOT] com with this ID to get your RSS feed reader whitelisted", followed by the unique identifier to be appended to the email. The feed won't pull new articles while you don't do that.

Getting news of your favorite free software releasing can be a pain if said software isn't a part of your standard update mechanism. However, most software forges have means of providing feeds to mitigate that. Today, we look at Codeberg, based off of Forgejo.

And it's a rather simple affair. The repository page has an RSS button. The button is a link to the .rss of the repo, which makes it also rather easy to add to feed readers.

Let's use Forgejo itself (https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo) as the example for this. If you hover over the RSS feed button, you see that it points to https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo.rss. Seeing as Forgejo powers Codeberg, it would be safe to assume any Forgejo-powered forges offer the same functionality.

Edit: It would be safe to assume GOGS and Gitea offer the same as well, as Forgejo is a third generation fork.

If many of you use open source software that isn't bundled in a package repo or using a corporate OS, sometimes being informed of a new release of your favorite program is a hassle. However, most software forges do have a way to access the Releases feed.

Today, we look at GitHub's Release Feed. GitHub uses the Atom feed format for its release pages and the Releases page itself generates the feed. The best way to access it is going to the Releases page for a project you follow. Copy the URL from your browser and drop it into your feedreader. Attach '.atom' to the end of the URL and save.

For example, for the mobile RSS reeder ReadYou, the URL looks like https://github.com/ReadYouApp/ReadYou/releases.atom

Now you are subscribed to the Releases Feed of your favorite software project in a central place.

A Way With Words is a public radio show and podcast focused on English Etymology. The two hosts provide their insight on words given to them by listeners of the show.

YourClassical is a service of Minnesota Public Radio, offering a variety of classical music internet radio streams for all who enjoy the style of music, ranging from the classical big orchestral pieces, epic cinematic masterpieces, classical guitar pieces, choral music, all the way to soft serenades for that moment when you are about to doze off.

Among many of their podcasts, they offer a Daily Download during the weekdays, allowing you to build your library from their selection.

Standard Ebooks is a group that is dedicated to providing an off-the-shelf experience for books in the public domain. Taking Project Gutenberg releases, they apply a strict style guide, which includes a professional looking cover, typographic choices, and other options that make it stand out from the basic work done by PG, and then put the book available on their website, free for the public to download. Their public RSS feed is a list of the latest releases they have finalized and put online.

OverClocked ReMix (OCReMix) has been a staple of the nerd remixing community for ages, providing fresh takes to popular video game music. For years, they keep a running RSS with the latest ten tracks they approve and post.

This extension shows a list of feeds if said feeds are listed in the HTML available to the browser, but not known to users.

Nintendo's RSS feeds across regions

Thanks to a comment in the Datahoarder community, I learned the UK site has a #RSS feed, so curious, I tried to dig if other regions also have.

First, the sites from #Nintendo I found that do have #RSSfeeds:

• Austria (German): https://www.nintendo.com/de-at/news.xml
• Belgium (Dutch): https://www.nintendo.com/nl-be/news.xml
• Belgium (French): https://www.nintendo.com/fr-be/news.xml
• France: https://www.nintendo.com/fr-fr/news.xml
• Germany: https://www.nintendo.com/de-de/news.xml
• Italy: https://www.nintendo.com/it-it/news.xml
• Japan: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/news/whatsnew.xml
• Netherlands: https://www.nintendo.com/nl-nl/news.xml
• Portugal: https://www.nintendo.com/pt-pt/news.xml
• Spain: https://www.nintendo.com/es-es/news.xml
• Switzerland (French): https://www.nintendo.com/fr-ch/news.xml
• Switzerland (German): https://www.nintendo.com/de-ch/news.xml
• Switzerland (Italian): https://www.nintendo.com/it-ch/news.xml

And also UK from the comment:

• https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/news.xml

Also found an old article on the Wayback Machine mentioning a feed for the US site, the latest working snapshot being from 2007, but the links mentioned have since been discontinued:

• https://web.archive.org/web/20071022050835/http://www.nintendo.com/rssinfo

None of the other regional variants seem to have feeds, though.

Also I think I'll have to create a new group in the list of feeds I know. That's more variants than Steam's. 🥲

LRG store Atom feeds

#LRG #Atom #RSSfeeds

All of their https://limitedrungames.com/collections/* pages (* being a wildcard), the subsections of their catalogues, have these feeds, though only for the base links, not for when they have feeds applied, so clear these beforehand.

Appending .atom at the end, for example:

• This doesn't work
• This does

Adding to the feeds I know of next.

Small update about Ci-en's RSS feeds: indeed discontinued and not being reinstated at least at this time

I had asked them through the #Cien Help page if they would, and they both confirmed in the response email that their #RSSfeeds had indeed been discontinued and that they would forward to the relevant department for considering for their future planning.

Additionally, I'd attach the whole email but from a quick search, apparently Japanese copyright laws can be so bad even support emails fall under it, even if one was to use it for journalistic purposes. 🙂

Kickstarter has Atom feeds for project updates!

Noticed by the notification of RSSHub Radar and will be adding to the feeds list I keep, but mentioning so it's a bit easier for others to find...

#Kickstarter #RSSfeeds #RSS #Atom

You pick a project, e.g. Mariachi Legends, and add /posts.atom at the end, or click the updates tab (even if you're at the tab already) and add .atom at the end, in either cases becoming https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/halberdstudios/mariachi-legends-a-combat-oriented-metroidvania/posts.atom.
