I use self hosted FreshRSS. I has:

  • news straight from the section I care about in chronological order order
  • new blog updates
  • music review updates
  • Bandcamp releases from artists/labels I follow
  • open source software releases I follow
  • YouTube updates from channels I follow.
  • etc

It is by far the best way to get updates about just the things you care about.

I started using FreshRSS around the same time Reddit killed their API, it has rapidly become one of my favorite self-hosted apps.

Also,

open source software releases I follow

You have just taught me that I can add github release pages to my feed, I love FreshRSS even more now.

Yes. Monitoring GitHub for releases is great (especially if the project posts change logs). Also, if you are a developer and need to monitor library updates for any deps you app might have, many of those sites also have rss feeds. For example: https://libraries.io/
