RSS is amazing, everyone should replace all their algorithmic feeds with it. And if your feed is empty do something else...

How do you get into RSS? Is there like a place you can go to find cool RSS signups? Is there a popular app or software everyone uses for RSS?

I use it mostly for Youtube, GitHub changelogs, and blogposts. To add feeds you either have to find some icon on the website that gives you the RSS link or look up how to to create it.
For a youtube channel it would look like this: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCVIFCOJwv3emlVmBbPCZrvw This site helps to figure out the channel id for a given channel easily: https://www.streamweasels.com/tools/youtube-channel-id-and-user-id-convertor/ You then copy that link for each channel into the reader and its done.
There are lots of rss readers (apps that let you organize your feeds) for all OS's and i think it comes down to personal choice. I use an android app called "Feeder" and a Linux app called "QuiteRSS" but you can usually export/import all your collected feeds between them.

- when Google killed Reader (2013), a lot of people just gave up rather than moving to another reader – effectively just forgetting that RSS even exists
- auto-discovery has disappeared – Chrome removed the RSS indicator when Google killed Reader, Firefox removed the RSS indicator back in 2018 – unless you have an addon or are specifically looking for an RSS link, there’s no longer any indication that RSS exists

I still haven't found a FOSS reader that is easy to install. I hate downloading from github and messing with stuff because I'm a moron with knowing if it's malicious or not,

Is there any rss app for android that's open source and / or won't make me pay after a couple dozen subscriptions?
