Feed discovery is a challenge, but there are a number of current efforts to make it easier. Far too many to list here. Briefly:

There are curated lists:

- https://blogroll.org/

- https://minifeed.net/

Community lists (planets)

- https://planet.debian.org/

- https://www.planetpython.org/

Curated themes (like Bluesky starter packs):

- https://minifeed.net/lists

- https://www.youneedfeeds.com/starter-packs

Webrings are cool again:

- https://brisray.com/web/webring-list.htm

This collection of HN blogs is pretty good too:

- https://github.com/outcoldman/hackernews-personal-blogs

- https://blogs.hn/about

I've been trying to aggregate many of these into a giant list, https://alexsci.com/rss-blogroll-network/blogrolls/, which is especially focused on OPML blogrolls: https://alexsci.com/blog/blogroll-network/

Wow, thank you for this, that is a really great collection of resources!

If a website looks like a blog there's a high chance it has a feed and is probably using HTML metadata to advertise it, like this:

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom" href="/atom/everything/">

Most feed readers know how to read that, so you can paste the URL of the blog itself into e.g. NetNewsWire and it will locate that rel="alternate" link and subscribe that way.

Yeah, but this doesn't solve the question of actually finding relevant blogs with feeds in the first place.

Follow links to articles on blogs from places like Hacker News. If you like what the author is saying, subscribe - then watch out for other blogs they reference in their future writing.

Try to find link blogs, since those are more likely to help you discover other things to read.

I view the webpage source and search for the strings "rss", "atom" and "feed" until I find one. I currently have 145 feeds. I follow blogs, news, I get updates about local events, I follow youtube channels, I get notified about new releases from various github repos, follow updates on various status pages, follow various subreddits etc.
