View on HN

I've tried to follow people on medium, twitter, bluesky, mastodon, blog RSS feeds, youtube, etc and there is typically just too much off topic noise.

Yeah totally agree that it produces a lot of noise. I too do checkout sites like HN, subreddits like r/cpp, r/webdev, etc periodically to discover stuff, and it really filters a lot of stuff.

Also sorting RSS feeds into multiple folders in a tree like fashion has helped me so far. I started using RSS faily recently (like 2 months), got do know of it in January when on Mastodon people were remembering of Aaron Swartz. Loved the idea of RSS and instantly got addicted to it. So yeah, might end up with a unusable feed soon since I am quite new to this thing. Let's see what happens.

'm hoping that following hashtags or similar will eventually work out.

Following hashtags too produces a lot of noise for me, especially on the Fediverse, subreddits work much better. Also you can just follow subreddits using RSS, which is also a nice thing to have IMO.

Hey, kinda new here. Would like to know your thoughts on this. Would be interested in knowing how you decide if some blog which you hop on from HN or elsewhere is worth a second visit. HN is one of the few places which is filled with people who use RSS a lot even today, so thought it would be worth submitting this article here I wrote to get some discussion going

Also to make it clear, this is a self-submission. Although in future, I will also try to share some other things as well which I find interesting

I am seeing this same/similar comment on this thread which has been posted by three quite new accounts. Is this quite normal on HN now or is it some bots farming engagement? Btw, I'm a new member here, knew about HN since a long time but never bothered to make an account up until now
