RSS is one of the oldest protocols existing. Basically it's like a feed with links to things posted...

I'd suggest you start with Feedly or Inoreader, make an account and take a look.

For me, it means that I can see notifications (Inoreader) telling me how many unread items have occurred across the 79 websites I added as feeds.

  • I have a folder for 'Fediverse' with feeds like Lemmy - ukraine (also Reddit's r/ukraine).

  • I have a 'Linux' folder, containing a few interesting blogs - like Niccolo's KDE developer blog, a few news sites, plus announcements from my OS forum.

  • I have a 'News' folder with various sources (one is a journalist I know with a Facebook page - as I don't use Facebook).

  • I have a 'Video' folder

  • I have a 'Time Waster' folder which has things like Digg, WindowSwap, Drive & Listen

Basically, any time you make an account and request updates from a website, the same can be done with NO account and simply copying the RSS link.

It gives you updates on things you don't need to bother bookmarking or opening to follow.
