What are you using RSS for? (lemmy.stinky.rip)

Hopefully this is a fit for this community (for getting value out of a self-hosted RSS aggregator/reader).

I'm looking for a list of high-value feeds to subscribe to or some alternative ideas to use RSS for in $current_year such as subscribing to a youtube channel without being logged in/directly using the frontend.

I wish GitHub also supported rss feeds for issue and pull request discussions, it recently got added to Forgejo.

There is at least one workaround, if you don't mind being a bit flexible.

GitHub lets users add multiple email addresses to their accounts and assign them as notification recipients. I've added a Kill-the-Newsletter (not affiliated) email to my account, and then use custom routing to route all emails for orgs I'm a part of to my email address - and everything else to Kill-the-Newsletter.

With this setup, all notifications related to orgs I specify come to my primary email address, anything else by default hits the RSS feed from Kill-the-Newsletter and keeps my inbox from getting slammed when a particular issue/etc. has a ton of activity.

Thanks, it’s good to know of other workarounds but I’ll probably stick to RSSHub since I find it easier use/manage. I believe RSS Bridge has a route too.
