What? RSS (Really Simple Syndication) and Atom are both internet protocols designed to give you “feeds” from all sorts of different websites. This is very similar to the average social media feed you might see while scrolling down a social media app, except RSS/Atom need a “reader”. An RSS reader just takes RSS/Atom links from websites, and then makes them easy to read and scroll through. Functionally, it’s very similar to a blog, with each “post” having it’s own seperate section with links and images. Here’s an example of an RSS link, and an example of an atom link:

Digital Minimalism # A few days after I have started working on this post, I begun reading Cal Newport’s Digital Minimalism book and quickly realized how both topics interrelate to each other. But now one by one: Digital minimalism is a philosophy of technology use in which you focus your entire time on a small number of carefully selected and optimized activities to strongly support things you value and happily miss out everything else.

Setting up self-hosted news aggregation

In this guide I’ll explain what RSS Feeds are, why to use them, and what the advantages are over traditional notification methods. The modern way Nowadays to stay up to date you need to install every proprietary application, visit multiple websites filled with ads daily and have you inbox flooded with emails. Or at least this is what a lot of people is doing. There is a simple and easy way to aggregate and have all your updates in a single place: RSS Feeds.

how to get started in 2 minutes and what feeds to follow. So, you want to do one or more of the above: 'get off social media', avoid spending so much time doomscrolling and chasing dopamine, get a broader media diet, read more widely, etc. And you want to do this now before you lose motivation?
