how to keep following people when a major social platform implodes

(…and you don’t want to join 20 new websites)

First, get an RSS reader*:

• Desktop: Feedbro (browser extension), QuiteRSS, Raven Reader
• Android: Feeder
• iOS/Mac: NetNewsWire

You’ll be able to make a custom feed to follow blogs, webcomics, social media feeds, podcasts, news, and other stuff on the web all in one place. To follow something, find its “feed URL”– often marked by an icon that looks like this ↓– and paste it into your reader of choice as a new feed.

Some feed URLs for social media:

• Twitter: Feedbro can use Twitter profile URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, use nitter.net/username/rss (or other Nitter instance) (You can get a CSV file of all the accounts you follow using “Download a user’s friends list” on Tweetbeaver)
• Tumblr: Use username.tumblr.com/rss or username.tumblr.com/tagged/my%20art/rss to follow a blog’s “my art” tag (as an example)
• Cohost: Use username.cohost.org/rss/public (WIP feature)
• Mastodon: Use instance.url/@­username.rss
• Deviantart: Info here
• Spacehey: Info here
• Youtube: Go to a channel in a web browser, view page source, and use Ctrl-F/Command-F to find a link that starts with “https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=”
• Instagram: Feedbro can use Instagram profile and hashtag URLs as feed URLs. Otherwise, Instagram doesn’t have RSS feeds, and due to aggressive rate limiting on their part, it’s not so simple to generate a feed URL.
• Facebook: Feedbro can use public Facebook group/page URLs as feed URLs.

(If you know an artist who exclusively posts to Instagram, you may want to gently suggest that they crosspost elsewhere…)

Also see how to find the RSS feed URL for almost any site. Try using public RSS-Bridge instances or Happyou Final Scraper to generate feeds for sites that don’t have them (Pillowfort, Patreon, etc).

*You can set up your subscriptions in one reader and import them into another by exporting an OPML file.

This!

RSS feeds were a great way to keep track of things before the rise of the platforms, and (if we’re smart) they’ll be great again.

INEFFABLE HUSBANDS APPRECIATION WEEK 2023
Day 05: Parallels or Underrated Moments

maybe at some point, i’ll be a sort of person who when looking for an ‘in’ to write a character’s POV, finds that an emotion like elation, or anger, or determination, or despair, is the easiest jumping-on point for getting myself and the reader into said character’s head

but for now, the almost universal rule is 'find a way to balance them on the verge of a panic attack, and i can finally get on with things’

love it when people link wikipedia pages instead of explaining the point. The url alone conveys so much disdain and contempt. Here is the information you desire, i found it with ease.

weird pet confessions:

sometimes i feel bad that my default greeting for my roommates’ tuxedo cat is “hi handsome!” 

i feel like i should greet him according to his accomplishments or achievements

but in my defense he is very cute, always well-dressed, and has literally no thoughts in his tiny kitten head

one time a moth was flying around the lamp and he scared it away but couldn’t tell where it had gone so he just stared at the lamp like this the entire rest of the night expecting it to produce more moths
