Find your local news sources, whatever they are, and add ALL of them. You can usually filter by local news so you don't get a bunch or repeat national/international news.

Aside from that - this is a decent list to start from.

I need to make a proper list. Since I'm on mobile, it's easier to screenshot.

[–] massi1008@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, Tom Scotts Newsletter also has a RSS feed? I didn't know that. Thanks! Btw. does it have tracking-links too or normal links?

[–] ragingHungryPanda@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not sure what you mean, it's just an rss link to an xml file. Oh, do you mean if you want to be tracked? It has a newsletter you can sign up for.

[–] massi1008@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

My first comment may have been a bit confusing. What I asked about were the links insider the Newsletter; The stuff Tom is referencing. They are usualy stuff like this: https://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=pR_drn&m=ftZOJIimVNMcQMQ&b=oF1nuW28Y3wbKseYeTJePg

No idea what this is exactly but a quick online search says it's tracking.

[–] zerozaku@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your RSS feed looks so comprehensive with categories and stuff. How can I achieve this?

[–] ragingHungryPanda@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago

The same way I did - steal from others

That's next cloud and the news mobile app

[–] iii@mander.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

Mostly mathematics related blogs. For example john d cook, martin modrak, andrew gelman, ethan epperly

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

I was just busy figuring this out for myself. So far I've subscribed to NOS (Dutch news), BBC, hackernews and arstechnica.

Stopped using RSS ever since Google Reader was murdered.

Same boat. Somehow, the magic is gone.
