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://webring.xxiivv.com/ - 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/
In The Many Broken Feeds
> I was looking at your HN OPML file on GitHub [0] and noticed that the `xmlURL` and `htmlURL` attributes are the same for each entry; the `htmlURL` currently points to the feed rather than the site. Do you happen to have the original HTML URLs available? Would be nice to have both. (Secondarily, I'm guessing some of the `type` attributes should probably be "atom" rather than "rss"?) I'm just using the file that someone else made, but I guess they didn't really make the distinction between those URLs in the code, though it shouldn't be too hard to modify: https://github.com/outcoldman/hackernews-personal-blogs/blob... It is also true that there are both RSS, Atom and possibly other feed types mixed in there. What I did for my site was to crawl through all of those feeds and process them one by one: get all of the posts, do some ordering a

nd grouping and output everything as RSS feeds in a consistent format. For example, here's the top 100 user feeds for 2023: https://hn-blogs.kronis.dev/feed-top100.xml Those have HTML links for each of the posts, though I'm afraid it's not exactly what you're asking for (the HTML URLs for the sites/feeds themselves), because I don't actually store that anywhere in my case, though the original feeds of the sites should have that information too.

Ask HN: Could you share your personal social handlers (X,Mastodon,Threads) here?

Similar to Post about personal blogs[1], I would like to find and follow people from HackerNews on social networks. Mastodon and Threads are new to me (and most of us), and I would like to build a base of who to follow. Please post: Twitter(X), Mastodon, and Threads. And anything else, if I am missing something. Similar to the HN post about the personal blog posts, I will try to build a list [2] so it will be easier to summarize handlers for each social network, and maybe create some kind of mass-following script (if it is possible). To make it parsable please post links, like - https://mastodon.social/@mastodon - https://twitter.com/x - https://www.threads.net/@threads -- [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081 [2] https://github.com/outcoldman/hackernews-personal-blogs

I don't know Go's flavor of regex but is this correct parsing code: https://github.com/outcoldman/hackernews-personal-blogs/blob... Are you taking care that if the <link> tag spans over multiple lines (linebreaks in between), you're still parsing it right? You do seem to be resolving relative paths with: feedUrl := matches[1] if feedUrl[0] == '/' { feedUrl = url + feedUrl } else if !strings.HasPrefix(feedUrl, "http") { feedUrl = url + "/" + feedUrl } So I think this is good. Just trying to see what could be breaking for the other users who are complaining their feed isn't listed.
