Blog Diet: A Starter List For Your RSS Reader

(This post now updated in April 2022 at this link.)

People keep asking me where I find stuff, or where to start with an RSS reader.

I exported my subscruptions, and damn, there are a LOT of dead blogs out there. Here is a selection of blogs from the list of ones I think are still active. Like I say, it’s just a bit of my active subscriptions list, but maybe you’ll find something you want to follow.

All Tumblr pages spit out an RSS feed – just stick /rss on the end of the URL. Turns out you can maybe pull Instagram feeds into RSS, so that’s my next job, after I sort and cull my podcasts list.

My internet is substantially quieter than yours, and teaches me new things every day.
