Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

I’m trying to dive deeper into RSS but I’m so tired of these clickbait or super corporate sites that I don’t know what’s good anymore. I just started getting into baking and self hosting; would love to read people’s blogs but I don’t even know where to even look for that.
As a sys admin I can easily find solutions to my problems by searching and researching online but when it comes to other topics… I suck at it and don’t get what I’m looking for. So, I agree what gets talked about on here and thought it would be easier to get recommendations by all you cool folks.

I usually put newspapers and a couple sports team blogs

RSS is by far the best way to read a newspaper imo

I just follow peoples personal blogs, no substacks or newsletters

People who are in it just to share cool stuff, not to build a ”community” to suck money out of.

That’s part of my problem is that I can’t find good personal blogs to follow.

baking and self hosting

Good luck with that, I'm pretty sure those popular topics have been filled with slop a long time ago, and I have no sources to share. Maybe find something in the "small web" movement?

Here is what I found on the web (it may or may not be broken since I don't self-host myself):

The RSS feeds I have are focused on my job:

  • C++ : the Old new thing, Andrzej's blog, Sutter's Mill, Fluent C++, Andreas Fertig, Standard C++, etc.
  • Tech : InfoQ, Bruce Schneier, Eli Bendersky, Fabien Sanglard, the Kotlin, Rust and Go blogs.
  • and Music for programming which is a great site with free ambient music for coding sessions.
