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.

    The one non-obvious thing that I use RSS for is to monitor releases on GitHub, so that when I’m waiting for some project to release some bugfix it gets conveniently listed in my RSS reader.

        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.
